Amro - I followed the path you said, but once I was in programmes,
there was no entry for Outlook Express! It just wasn?t there! What I
did see, was an entry called ?Start up? in fact, there were two
entries for ?Start up?, the second of which was disabled; don?t know
if this means anything?
I also took a look under all users, and in programmes, there were 3
times as many entries as there were for my own user name, but still
nothing for Outlook Express.
Any more ideas?
