Hi Rainy,
Open notepad, click file open and then select the msoe50.inf file.
Personally, I put a shortcut to notepad in my sendto folder - this way I can
just right click the file and use send to--->notepad.

the options when I right clicked the file.. it's not highlighted either..

Hi Rainy,
There are different approaches to problems, but I can vouch from personal
experience that running msoe50.inf will reinstall outlook express 6 (and
it can't install version 5 as they doesn't exist in an xp system). If you
open the aforementioned .inf file in notepad and scroll to the bottom,
you will note that it installs version 6.0.xxxx.xxxx

if she is wrong.. please let me know... here is her response to my email
Is she right? thanks Rainy
I checked it out. I think that is only for OE5....I found this:

Hi Rainy,
It's easier just to right click the msoe50.inf file under
C:\Windows\Inf and choose "install".

Hi Don.. When you try to reinstall the same version of Internet
Explorer, you may receive the following error message:
Setup has detected a newer version of Internet Explorer already
installed on this system.
Setup cannot continue. To avoid this error message and reinstall the
same version of Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, follow these
steps:
While you are logged on as an administrator, click Start, and then
click Run.
In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
Locate the appropriate registry subkey, right-click the IsInstalled
(REG_DWORD) value, and then click Modify.
To reinstall only the Internet Explorer 6 browser component on Windows
XP, use the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed
Components\{89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383}
To reinstall only Outlook Express 6 on Windows XP, use the following
registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed
Components\{44BBA840-CC51-11CF-AAFA-00AA00B6015C}
Change the value data from 1 to 0, and then click OK.
Quit Registry Editor, and then install Internet Explorer 6, Outlook
Express will come along..
