Dear all,

I have one question that need your help.
When I right-click the files in explorer and choose the "send to" --> "mail
recipents" to open the mail program and attach the chosen files.
Now it is Outlook. If I want to change the email program to be outlook
express, How can I do?

Thanks,

Raymond
