Remove Outlook XP

[Vernon]

I want to remove my Outlook Express since it takes up
space and to send out messages costs money to do so
something to do with registration and getting an ID which
I am not going to do, I get lots of Windows Updates for
holes in this program. Bottom line, I want to remove it
and yet when I tried to in the past, it won't remove. I
could not find any help in the Outlook section. I have
Windows XP Pro on my computer. Thank-you all!!

Outlook Express cannot be removed from Windows XP. Its files
are tightly integrated with XP's system files. =20

I guess it keeps the Windows Update a reason for being. I
am going to go to the Tech TV place and see if they could
help me. I am so glad you took the time to try to help
me. I don't update my Outlook Express since I don't use
it and this along with msn, hotmail, passport, *.net are
all GREAT places for security leaks, which are cool for
some, but that is not what I want. I will have to hope
for the best since I have not used any of the files which
are for Outlook express for my computer since that time.

Thank-you Nichlos for your time, I am grateful.

Try Control panel, add/remove programs, add/remove windows components.

[Nicholas]

That procedure only removes the Outlook Express icon from the
Start Menu or Desktop. It does not uninstall OE.

It doesn't cost any more to send e-mail though Outlook Express than any
other e-mail program and that cost is entirely based on what it costs to
subscribe to your ISP. If you intend to use the encryption feature which
does require registration and ID, that has nothing to do with Outlook
Express and costs the same for anyone regardless of e-mail client.

Nicholas...I think you are barking up the wrong tree here. I read your post
on Tech TV last night and the posters were trying to tell you the same thing
there as they are here.

There is nothing wrong with Outlook Express, but it is imbedded in Internet
Explorer which you cannot remove, but you can choose to not let it be your
default email client.
I've copied the article below so you might understand a bit more...

" By default, Internet Explorer 6 is preinstalled in all versions of Windows
XP and cannot be removed. To provide computer manufacturers more flexibility
in configuring desktop versions of Windows XP, Microsoft has made it
possible for OEMs, administrators, and users to remove user access to
Internet Explorer while leaving the Internet Explorer code intact and fully
functional to make sure the functionality of programs and operating system
functions that rely on it. For example, Windows XP supports an
"IEAccess=off" switch in the Unattend.txt file, and Internet Explorer has
been added to the Add/Remove Windows Components section of the Add/Remove
Programs tool in Control Panel. This does not reinstall Internet Explorer. )
Hope this helps you...

Michael, I hope you don't mind me asking you direct but I have a problem and
not getting anywhere too fast.
I've lost my " email recipient " command, after I right click on a file
etc. and choose send to...
I think I deleted it accidentally and miss it very much....
I am running Win.XP with O/E 6.0
I believe it's a file called MapiMail which resides in the Send To folder...
but how do I get it back. ?
Any help is appreciated...thanks again....

No problem at all.

Quickest way to fix it, assuming this is a recent issue would be to try
System Restore to see if it can take you back to a time prior to losing it.
Start\All Programs\Accessories\System Tools\System Restore.

Failing that, try the following assuming you have an XP CD and not a
manufacturer's restore CD:
Go to Start, type sfc /scannow in the run box and press enter. Note, there
is a space between sfc and the forward slash. You will be asked for your XP
CD. Be aware, upon inserting the CD the XP setup screen may appear, this is
not a part of sfc /scannow, rather it is being invoked by autorun. Simply
minimize the screen and allow sfc to continue.

If the above fails to resolve the issue, try a repair install as follows:
Be sure you are well backed up in case there is a problem from which you are
unable to recover. NOTE, while a repair install should leave your data
files intact, if something goes wrong during the repair install, you may be
forced to start over and do a clean install of XP. If you don't have your
data backed up, you would lose your data should that eventuality occur.

Boot from the CD. If your system is set to be able to boot from the CD, it
should detect the disk and give a brief message, during the boot up, if you
wish to boot from the CD press any key.

Once you have pressed a key, setup should begin. You will see a reference
asking if you need to load special drivers and another notice that if you
wish to begin the ASR (Automatic Recovery Console) depress F2. Just let
setup run past all of that. It will continue to load files and drivers.

Then it will bring you to a screen. Eventually, you will come to a screen
with the option to (1) setup Windows or (2) Repair Windows Installation
using the Recovery console.

The first option, to setup Windows is the one you want and requires you to
press enter. When asked, press F8 to accept the end user agreement. Setup
will then search for previous versions of Windows. Upon finding your
version, it will ask if you wish to Repair your current installation or
install fresh. Press R, that will run a repair installation. From there
on, follow the screens.
