Setting as default program

[Angie]

When I first started using Outlook it asked if I wanted
to use it as my default email. I said no at the time. But
I was using outlook express as my default. I am confused
in the difference. I have searched every menu and went to
the help menu and cannot find out how to use outlook as
my default. Is this something so simple that my 7 year
old could have figured out or am I missing something.

You have to do this from within Internet Explorer. Open IE, click
Tools -> Internet options -> Select the Programs tab -> Choose Outlook
to be your default e-mail client.
