Hi David,

Click Start | Run | Cmd
Goto this folder:
"C:\ProgramFiles\Internet Explorer\
Type "regsvr32 hmmapi.dll" and press Enter
Now, it shd be listed in IE6 Options (Programs tab).
Set Hotmail as default email client.

Thanks, but I am new to this. I have opened the command prompt, but how do I
go to "C:\ProgramFiles\Internet Explorer\
The dialog box opens in "documents and settings" and I don't know how to get
out of this.
