How Do I make Outlook Express my default email in Office XP?

Hi,

I ran into a bit of a snag. I just got Office XP and for some reason, it will only let me send mail out of Word, Excel with Outlook and not Outlook Express. I only use Outlook Express and need a way to configure it so I can take a spreadsheet and (send to) someone and have it come out of my Outlook Express box.

What's strange is that I never had this problem before. I would just go to file>send to> message with attachments and my regular Outlook Express message would pop up and I'd send it. Now, all that will pop up is the Outlook mailbox which I don't use and I don't know how to change that.

Any help would be most appreciated!

TIA,

Sal

Open IE then Tools\Internet Options\Programs\ then change the email back to express.
