How is possible?

[Salicilico]

I have performed the regular procedure in order to unistall outlook express.
In the windows installed programs look not present but outlook express is
still there and working.
I cannot understand how this is possible.
Would you anybody explain me?
Thanks and regards

Outlook Express is a part of IE and is internal to the Operating System.You will need to leave it if you want Windows and IE to work properly

1. Outlook will not work properly unless Outlook Express is installed,
as Outlook uses some of Outlook Express' files.
2. In Windows XP, Outlook Express cannot be uninstalled, as it's part
of the operating system's files.

If you are using XP you CAN'T uninstall OE. If you'd read the little
message that comes up in the Add/Remove programs box, you would have
seen that all that function does is to remove the menu entries.

Why do you want uninstall Outlook Express?

My intention is only to uninstall and then reinstall it because I have some
troubles with it.
One of this troubles is that it's not possible to set it as newsreader
default program.
The second I cannot see it listed as newsreader program in the IE options
(only outlook is possible as a choise)

You can't uninstall it, but you should be able to reinstall it.

Exactly, in which way is it possible?

To get the News command back, go back to the Programs tab in Control Panel |
Internet Options and change the default newsreader to Outlook Express. If
OE prompts you to make it your default newsreader the next time you launch
it, clear the "Always perform this check..." box and then click the No
button.

You may need to reset the Menu Bar and/or restart Outlook and/or reboot your
machine in order to complete the process. Not everyone is reporting success
with this method, but try it and see what happens. If all else fails, you
can always create a desktop shortcut to Outlook Express and include the
/outnews switch -- that gives you the same result as accessing the
newsreader via the News command in Outlook.
