That's a very bad tip. If you ever need to go back into your recreated
Outlook Express to find things, and for some reason need to use a script
there, its scripts will now open up Entourage instead! Instead, use proper
scripts in Entourage. In many cases (those same cases where you now get it
to work by pointing to the wrong application), just make a copy of the
script, open up the copy in a Script Editor and change 'tell application
"Outlook Express"' to 'tell application "Microsoft Entourage"', save the
altered script under a slightly new name (I just add an "E" at the end) in
the Entourage Script Menu Items folder in the Microsoft User Data folder.
Slightly more effort, but you don't screw up your AppleEvents table and
desktop file this way, and can use both Entourage and OE as need be.
