When i click the icon for OE it opens but opens about 50 copies of the application. How do i stop it from doing this? Regards Stephen
I've never heard of that happening. What version of Windows are you using and what version of Outlook Express (you can see that in Help, About Outlook Express). Right click the short cut that you use the start OE and check the Target. It should say: "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" If it says something else, copy/paste that here. I have heard of people clicking a mailto: link on a web page and having about 50 web pages open (not OE). That's caused by having the default mail program incorrectly configured.

I think you're going to need to explain a bit further, as OE won't open but once. There is a hack that can allow more than one OE window but each instance would have to be opened individually. Look in the title bar and see whatit says in it. Maybe it's a web page that opening multiple copies?
