I think that is what was going on. So how do I drag the OE icon into my
quick launch at the bottom of my screen?
thanks Gman
I "have" to uninstall office 2000 now. Ever since the install and uninstall
of the newer one, my powerpoint and word will not work without me installing
the disks and I do not have them here now. So, fingers crossed.
When you click on your IE's email button, you're now being
directed to Outlook instead of OE.
