SP2 and email

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

after installing SP2 the email icon on my taskbar takes me to my outlook
express account rather than my "hotmail" account as it used to. The only way
I found to get into my hotmail account was through a Google search and
re-logging in. This could be rather tedious. Can anyone tell me what I've
done wrong and how to correct it?
Thanks
Terry

In your Start/All Programs you should have "MSN Explorer" that's a quick
link to both hotmail and MSN Messenger. You may have to set it up again
after SP2 - so right click it and see.
The other thing to check is right click Start then go to
Properties/Customize you can select your Internet and Email to show
correctly there.

Forgot to mention.. right click MSN Explorer and "send to" desktop to put
the icon on your desktop.
