Hi Al & Ishe; Thank you very much for your input. Yes Al, that was my first thought. Removing the account, going into Internet options/programs page, and arrowing to his A T&T account, and making it his default email client. Ishe, I went to All Programs and couldn't find "Set Default Program Access." Is there a particular folder this would be in? Thanks much. Take care. Mike

You may remove his account from OE, but OE will still remain as your email client until you change your default email program. You can do this by going to All Programs then select Set Default Program Access. For Email, choose another client such as MS Outlook or another program as the default. Alternatively, you can go to Control Panel, choose Task Bar and Start menu; move to the Start Menu tab; click on Customise button. Then tab to the Email field and arrow to the program of your choice such as MS Outlook, Thunderbird, Eudora, Live Mail or such stuff. Click OK to dismiss the customise property sheet, click another Ok to dismiss the setting dialog and you are done. I hope this helps a little.
