What happens if you right click on a file does it give you the option to
"Open with" Outlook Express?
How to change file associations in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307859
Advice found in Google:
One application will be the default - this application will open with
the
file when the file is double-clicked. As many other applications as you
want can also be associated with the file type. These non-default
applications will be listed as options when you right-click on the file.
Typically, the default application will have an action associated with
the
file type of "Open", while others might have actions like "View",
"Edit",
"Look at", whatever.
To see how it's done, in an Explorer window do View / Folder Options /
File
Types. Select a file type and choose Edit. Note the actions. Repeat
with
different file types until you find one that has multiple actions. Note
that
one action (probably "Open") is the default. Find a file of this type,
right click it, and you'll see how the other actions are listed as
options.
