i thought we had it, but no cigar.
i have looked at ALL PROGRAMS and the subfolders of each program.
Nothing.
i tried lookinf for a/r Windows Components but could not find it. (This
scares me a little more.)
i did find Windows Media player, but it is not listed in my All Programs
and
i can't launch it either.
i tired creating the shortcut found the folder but no EXE (only
DLLs)(and
i found my address book which is a HUGE relief - THANKS!)
i am looking for the install disc now. if i find it, do i have to do a
complete reinstall? Could i delete IE 7 and reload IE 6 which used to
have
OE6? thanks a ton for your help.

If not:

Bruce - thanks for the reply. i do not have Vista and am still using
Windows
XP. (i see how i was confusing in my original post) i am looking to
get
OE6
back onto my PC via a download. It looks like this is no longer
possible.
Or do you know where it can be found? Is there a way to copy it from
my

You're welcome. I always check to Show Hidden Files and Folders right after
a new install, so I often forget some that are hidden.

i too always check show hidden files. And this OE exe file still does not
show up in the OE folder. i did search My Computer for MSIMN.EXE and it only
shows up as a PF File in C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch and as an app file in
C:\WINDOWS\Service Pack Files\i386. Weird. Any thoughts on if i should do
anything else? (i won't ever use the advanced tab on Disk Clean up ever
again.

Actually, I just tried it with Show Hidden Files and Folders checked and
unchecked and it showed either way.

In Windows Explorer | C Drive | Program Files. You do not see a folder named
Outlook Express? If you do, click on it and you will se about a dozen icon.
The first one is MSIMN. You can just right click on it and Send To | Desktop
(create shortcut).

YW & thanks for your feedback.

Perhaps I shouldn't open this can of worms but...

You should be aware that installing any Outlook Update will "hijack" the
default Mail Client away from OE. See...

Microsoft Outlook updates change the default mail handler to Microsoft
Outlook
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#13

As such, every time you install an Outlook Update, chances are you'll have
to reconfigure OE as your default:

1. http://www.oehelp.com/oedef.aspx; then...

2a. http://www.oehelp.com/oelnk.aspx

2b. Start [ | Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs ] | Set Program Access and
Defaults | Email | ...

TIP: Save the above. You're gonna need it!
