I finally solved it once and for all. I had to reset the Outlook Express registry entries, which i did by typing "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /reg in the 'Run' command. Well, I'm glad it's back to normal

^^ I'm not sure but look into "Add/Remove Programs" list.

Say, I had one other thought. Is there a way to possibly uninstall Outlook Express and reinstall it? It might work then...

Yeah, I have installed Windows Live Mail, through Microsoft Update, but the thing that I was talking about was definitely Outlook Express. It said so, and it wasn't the Live Mail icon, either. But it's okay. I'll just switch to Windows Live Mail, I think, because it is newer and seems to work fine whereas OE doesn't open from the Startmenu. So yeah, Live Mail is working fine. But thanks so much for all your suggestions, VG. Your help is really very much appreciated! Thanks again mate.

^^ it seems you have installed another mail client (most probably Windows Live Mail) in your system which is causing this problem.

Try to set Outlook Express as default mail client from its Preferences. Also set it default in "Default Programs" section under Add/Remove programs applet in Control Panel.

The thing is, it opens fine from the All Programs menu, and even when it's pinned to the Start menu. But when I did what Tangmeister said, by setting OE as the E-mail client, it went onto the Start menu, but it doesn't open. Also, it has a different icon for some reason, not the usual white envelope with the blue arrows, but a cream-coloured envelope with no arrows. Weird...

Lol, @Tangmeister, judging by your last line, I must sound rather fussy ^^
Well, I'll see what I can do about it...

Try right-clicking your taskbar, going to Properties -> Start menu -> Customize -> and then tell it to display your email client.

You could also just right-click Outlook Express and rename this shortcut, if you like.

(If you can live with it LOL)

Although there's just one thing. It used to be set out like this:

E-mail
Outlook Express

Now it's just:

Outlook Express

It looks a bit empty, because it isn't like it used to be when it said the "E-mail" thing above it. Is there any way to recover the old way? Or am I stuck with the program simply being pinned on the Start menu directly from All Programs? I can live with that, of course. But if there's some way, I'd be very glad. Thanks again, and sorry for troubling you like this!
