i dont know

[weeal]

I dont use hotkeys but does the hotkey open Outlook or Outlook Exprewss by any chance?

If you go to

Tools>Internet Options>Progams

You will see a list with drop downs, you can choose your preferred e-mail there, AOL is the first option.

Depends on what keyboard/laptop it is, but normally you will have something in the control panel (start > settings > control panel) that will relate to the hotkeys and you can set them there.

or goto control panel again and select intenet options then click on the programs tab and see if you can set you default mail program to AOL there.

ok noknowledge....how did you know i was a blonde? lol

by the way, when i go to internet options, programs etc
the only email services it lists is msn explorer, hotmail and outlook....is there any way that i could add aol to the list??

[Lakitu]

Hmmm, I'm not sure why that is, it's maybe got something to do with what version you're using?

Chuck will be able to help you.

yep resident geek here :)

Open AOL and click on the settings icon on the toolbar and then under the A's select "AOL as default" click yes on popup and hopefully should sort it.

Now this can't be counted as stalking..... I was asked :)

[Lakitu]

Permission to stalk was temporarily granted :)

[weeal]

But is the hotkey opening a web page or a software programme???

PS I can vouch for Chuck.. there is no way he is a stalker...! He is a very intelligent young man who knows a lot about dem puters.... and is willing to share his knowledge. (He's also a nice guy btw)....lol

[Lakitu]

I know, I was yanking his chain, last night we were bumbing into one another all over the place LOL

[ChuckFickens]

thanks juggs, but it's only a laugh, I mentioned on a post yesterday that lakitu will think I'm stalking her soon as we seemed to keep posting on the same threads at about the same time.

Do you two know one another in real life?
