The Outlook Express program files should be in a folder named Outlook Express If the folder has a different name, such as Outloo~1, you might be unable to start Outlook Express or to open the Address Book in Outlook Express.

To make sure the folder has the correct name

Click Start, click Search, and then click Other files or folders

Under Look in, click the disk on which Windows is installed

In the Name of file or folder box, type:

outloo*

Click More advanced options

Select the Search system folders check box

Select the Search hidden files and folders check box

Click Search

In the results list, find the folder that is located in your Program Files folder.

If this folder is named Outlook Express, click No at the bottom of this page, and then click Next.

If this folder has a different name, such as Outloo~1, follow the remaining steps

Right-click the folder that is located in your Program Files folder, click Rename, and then type:

Outlook Express

Press ENTER

Restart Outlook Express
