Error message in Opening Outlook

I will never again update my computer. I will never again try to get help
from the Microsoft online help facility. And if things go to par I will
probably never again post on this site. Apologies from the beginning. I
am sooooooooooooo cross/angry/frustrated/in need of help.
Whew!!! That feels better.

Question. I have had a computer upgrade. Now have two HDDs sitting on my
computer. All my old files, folders, information including MS Office XP are
on one drive E:. On the new drive C: I have another copy of the Office XP
program. I intend to delete one of the copies and use the other. (When I am
more familiar of what is stored where).

When I click on the Outlook icon I get a message "unable to open your
default e-mail folders. Could not open them. Try again" Click on OK "Would
you like to open your default file system instead" No I would not! I want
to open Outlook.

Because I find my old Outlook I am using Outlook express for my email. I
don't want to use Outlook Express I want my old Outlook and all my files, and
addresses. The version of Office XP I am running is 2002.

By setting up Outlook express I may have upset Outlook 2002. How do I get
it all back. In non-techo words in easy to understand language, grandma
version please
And before you even start I thank you for your assistance.

I have posted this message on Outlook General Questions. I know I have
cross posted. Too bad!! Should be a facility to delete or edit posts. Oh
look another negative!! Neveragain.

Cross post, dont multi post, otherwise replies can only be seen in the one

My apologies. There is no option for deleting a post or a thread. I moved
the post before I realized this facility wasn't as advanced as the one I'm
used to. Hope you hear the humour in my reply!!

Of course
If you were to use the win default newsreader, Outlook Express, or Windows
Mail you would find the experience a whole lot better
