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

Subject: [access-uk] Classic Start Menu and Outlook express in windows7
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.

As always, all feedback welcome and people are also welcome to contact me
off list.
all the best,
Mo.

If you have the time to spare, may I also have instructions on how to
initiate Outlook Express on a Windows 7 home premium 64 bit machine?
Many thanks

Hi Jeff.
What windows7 version are you using? 32bit or 64bit? outlook express
is still there, though its buried in program files as windows mail. It
was never meant to be part of windows7 but still is. I will send you
instructions in due corse on how to reenable it. If you'd also like to
revert back to xp because of the classic look start menu, you should
install classic shell. this excellent little program will revert your
toolbars and start menu back to basic xp stile. I'll wait to hear
further
from you.
Mo.

I hate Windows 7 largely because I can't use Outlook Express which I
find easy and logical.
Eudora and Thunderbird seem to behave bizarrely on my machine.
If I go back to XP what is the downside?
Also any other email programmes which work as easily as Outlook
Express out there?
