| 473016 | 2006-07-23 23:21:00 | There is an envelope icon on my Internet Explorer which when I click on it has always started up my Outlook Express so that I can read my mail. I have obviously done something stupid because now when I click on it - Yahoo web site opens up. I have no need of Yahoo and just want to stay as I was but can find no way of altering things back to what it was. What do I do? Tom |

But computers have a sense of humour so I changed it to one of the alternatives(NOT YAHOO) - then changed it back to OUTLOOOK EXPRESS It worked - I have found this crazy way of fixing things does sometimes work. Most odd. Tom |

Most odd. Tom I would suggest Barts dad's method would remove Yahoo from your sytem,which as you don't want it,would clean your computer up a bit toboot. |

| 473021 | 2006-07-25 02:47:00 | Thanks Cicero. I really thought I had got rid of my problem but this morning Yahoo was back again. So I have removed it completely. I hope now that all is OK. Tom |
