If you are unable to set Outlook Express as the default mail client and Outlook Express is not available in Control Panel > Internet Options > Programs tab > E-mail: drop-down menu, try re-registering OE as your default mail program:
Click Start and select Run.
In the Open: field, type in the following command and press the Enter key or click OK:
"C:\PROGRAM FILES\OUTLOOK EXPRESS\MSIMN.EXE" /reg
NOTE: Include the quotation marks and the space between the ending quotation mark and the slash (/)reg. In addition, check the path to msimn.exe to make sure that it is correct.
Open Internet Explorer.
Click the Tools menu and select Internet Options.
Click the Programs tab.
In the E-mail: field, select "Outlook Express" from the drop-down menu.
Click OK.
