HELP?

I got home just now and my Outlook Express e-mail shortcut is GONE. I can't find it anywhere! What the ??????

Weird. Need to make a new shortcut?

Tried. Didn't work. Turns out my roommate was on the computer while I was out and thinks she may have scorched something when she tried to enable Javascript.

I'm going to see if Lyle can take a look at it. I can still access e-mail from the Internet, and most of the files (including my address book, thank God) are there, but this is still Not Good.

If it's just the shortcut, the app ought to be there SOMEWHERE. I assume you've done a search for it?

I've tried searching for "Outlook" and pulled up a bunch of files, but I'm damned if I know which one is which. Suggestions?

When Lyle comes over, tell him you want to migrate to Thunderbird :-)

-H.

I've been tinkering with the idea of trying Thunderbird. I've got Eudora running now.

Have you got system restore on your box? If you do then just go back to a point before today.

That only works if you actually have restore points enabled.

*grin*

It worked! Thanks! *cheers*

Yay:) Always make a fresh restore point bfore you download anything. Teach your roomie that too. That way if anything gets too flubbed up you can go back to the previous settings.
