I got sorted thank you Carol. Chris Halsworth had the perfect solution where I needed to untick a box in the Task Bar, I think it is called but it was where I needed to press alt and enter on the start button and go in and check a box.

Eleanor,

Did you get Autosizer, which I think someone suggested?

It is possible that your Outlook Express isn't maximised.
Now, close it down and open again. Click maximise at the top of your screen. Open a message, then click maximise on the message. Next time you go in, everything should be maximised, at least until it gets messed up again. One thing I do occasionally is to forget to close down a message (as I get side-tracked or something). This will make reading diffidcult for you as a partial. 

One further suggestion, get that dog of yours to lend a hand!  <Smiles!>

Thanks Ted that is a brilliant idea.  I must try it and for other
applications also.  What I mean is that if Outlook Express is
minamised on the task bar and I have 3 e-mails open, perhaps one I am
replying to and two others that I am reading, then what is happening
is this.  There is the number 3 to the right of the Outlook Express
and if one left clicks with the mouse and moves ujp the screen each
separate e-mail can be seen.  Now I could have to move up to number 2
of 4.  What I am sahing is that going from left to right across the
lower part of the screen it is normally possible to have each
separate e-mail or application minamised, going left to right rather
than sitting on top of each other.  Nows maybe someone will
understand from that and be able to help more.

Eleanor, I'm afraid you've lost me when you talk about messages side
by side.
I hope someone else has a better imagination than me.

Re. shortcuts, if you are in MS Word or anything else, and you want
to open Outlook Express without minimising Word, just press the
shortcut you have created, and OE will open.

To create the shortcut, highlight the OE desktop icon and press alt +
enter. This opens the properties sheet, where you will find an edit
field marked shortcut key.  It will say "none."  Hit any key, the
obvious one for OE would be O, as long as it is not in use already
for another shortcut.  This procedure, will of course work for any
other prog on the desktop, not just OE.

Yes you are right now it is the quick launch bar, now that you say
it.  I have another problem say when Outlook Express is open and I
have some e-mails open, they are all sitting on top of each other
rather than side by side.  I find this most irritating as I use the
mouse and it is difficult. Do you know how I put them side by side
instead please?  Now what you were saying about the quick key from
the keyboard, if I am in Word for example, or PDF file how does
that work?  Remember I may not always want to Open Outlook Express
when I sit down at the computer so at the moment I am having to
minamise my applications to get at the icon on the desktop.

I think that's called the quick launch bar.  I don't know how to
add Outlook Express to it, some programmes invite you to do this
during installation.

But to repeat what I said before, if you want to open OE quickly
when you have other things open on the screen, a shortcut
keystroke achieves the same result.

I have Outlook Express icon on the desktop.  Is that what you
mean?  No I want it on the bottom of the screen on the Task Bar
where I have other applications such as internet Explorer,
Windows Media Player and Real Player.

Thanks for your help.

Eleanor, I think what you really need is a shortcut to OE from
its desktop icon.
You can create one from the properties sheet.  Then whatever
else you have running, you can launch OE with a key press.  No
need to have it on the task bar.

HTH, Ted

DECIDE TO OPEN IT, i CAN GET AT IT EASILY RATHER THAN CLOSING
DOWN OR MINAMISING THE APPLICATINS i AM WORKING WITH TO GET AT
IT ON THE DESKTOP OR HAVING TO GO THROUGH THE START MENU FOR IT.

pLEASE DO UNDERSTAND THAT i APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S COMMENTS AND

Task Bar Minimizing OE will place its icon on the taskbar. If you use the 
mouse, just click on the minimize simbol on the right top corner
of the window, or in the OE window press alt+space and enter on
minimize. It will work for almost all programs.

   That is not what I am looking for Ibrahim.  I might have 3
word documents open and then I might want to open Outlook
Express.  I would find it very handy to use the mouose and go to
the task bar and click on the Outlook Express Icon without
having to go throught the Start menu or minamizing all my Word
documents to click on the Outlook Express icon on the desktop.

     Hi Eleanor.

     Simply minimise the outlook express window by pressing
windows key and M.

       OK but you still haven't told me how to put it on the
task bar, the Icon I mean.

         Hi Eleanor.

         No, sorry, I'm misreading your message.  When you said
the task bar, I thought you might be referring to the system
tray that sits next to it.  You can with the aid of this program
Hide OE put outlook express in the system tray.  When you
minimise it, rather than becoming another task in the taskbar
clogging up your task switching, it tucks itself away so you can
keep it open and thus monitor your mail much more effectively.

           Oh no of course not, it is quite a simple thing and
I've had someone do it for me within minutes.  I only want to be
able to click on it form the task bar to open it.

             Hi Eleanor.

             You can't, you need to use a separate program
called Hide OE. Do a search in google for it, but download it
from the R2 studios website as there are a few utilities around
and not all of them are free or accessible.
