    I have a hotkey on my keyboard which opens Outlook Express for me. However, I'd like to assign it instead to open my Outlook. Any suggestions as to how I might do this would be very welcome. I use Win XP (SP2).

    Thank you.

    Wouldn't hurt to look in Internet Explorer->Tools->Options->Programs tab and make sure Outlook is set as your defualt program.

    If it's one of the keyboards that has dedicated buttons for this type of thing perhaps there's an applet in the control panel for the keyboard where you can assign different things for the buttons. If there's nothing there, is there an icon for the keyboard in the system tray? If so, double click it. If that does nothing, right click on it and see what options are in the menu that pops up.
