Hi Mo,
I was extremely happy to hear that there might be a way to get outlook
express to work with windows 7. Though I have outlook, I don't really like
it all that much. Anyhow, I downloaded the folder, extracted it, then opened
the instructions file and followed every step exactly. When I went to add
the shortcut to my desktop, I got a message telling me that the file or
program could not be found. So, I am thinking that windows male is not
hidden in my copy of windows 7 for some reason. If there is something else I
can do, I was wondering if you could let me know. Feel free to contact me
off list. Thanks.
Shea

Instructions
Hi All.
Many thanks to all who replied expressing an interest. For those that don't
have the money or the contacts to obtain microsoft outlook, the following
should be very useful. Personally i prefer it over outlook unless you're
working in an enterprise environment as its more light weight.
Download and unzip the following file, the instructions should be fine with
most screen access software, tested with jaws and NVDA. After unzipping,
please read through the instructions file to have an idea of the steps
involved.

Also, for those wishing to have the classic start menu back and classic look
to my computer, download and run the following file. If the source forge
page does not open your download dialogue, click on the direct link on the
page to start your download. When installing, leave all boxes ticked by
default. After installation, your start menu should be back to the classic
menu stile.

%20release/ClassicShellSetup_3_5_1.exe/download?use_mirror=netcologne
As always, all feedback welcome and people are also welcome to contact me
off list.
all the best,
Mo.
