In the past, I have done reformat and re-install WinXP Pro many times. In
the past, OE is automatically showed up.
I have never looked at add/remove windows compnents. This time, OE did not
show up. So I thought that automatic IE8 installation excluded OE.

But, did you check add/remove windows components? Perhaps many things have
changed
since you last reinstalled. IE is OE checked in add/remove components?

Read ALL posts in this subthread, including the OP's own reply. Explain how
you missed that he asked about using OE under */Windows 7/*.

Which is NOT a pervasive newsgroup. Not many NNTP servers carry it (yet).
It is also under the WRONG hierarchy. Microsoft also seems bent on
abandoning its attempt to usurp Usenet with its pretend forums and
gatewaying them to Usenet and instead migrating to forums.

I think you are confused. Reread his post. He is indicating that he doesn't
have OE
after reinstalling XP. He reinstalled "XP" therefore OE is on his computer.
To activate it, go to control panel add/remove and then add/remove windows
components.
Put an X in the box labeled Outlook express.
OE cannot be used with Windows 7.
