With one's desktop visible, right click on empty desktop space, and choose New 
( on the popup menu ), then choose text document.  An icon will appear on the 
desktop.  One can either rename it, or just leave it named as is - New Text 
Document.txt.

Then, simply browse and select this file from  outlook express 
options/signature.  Once one has closed the options, don't forget to delete the 
"new" .txt file.  If one does not delete it, the "error" dialog box won't 
display when a new email message is initiated, and therefore any email virus 
will still be able to send outbound messages.
