I want to install Outlook. I am not sure if it will co-exist with Outlook Express so I decided to uninstall Outlook Express first. Problem is I can't figure out how to do it. I can't find it listed in SYSOC.INF to delete "hide". I am stumped. Can anyone help me? If it cannot be uninstalled, I will settle for disabling it. Can I do this by renaming the Outlook Express folder?
Am I paranoid? If I leave Outlook Express installed, will it conflict with Outlook?

Thanks

YOU CANNOT UNINSTALL OUTLOOK EXPRESS.
Just import all your stuff off of outlook express onto outlook and delete all your shortcuts to outlook express and forgot you got it. Its tied with xplorer and you cant get rid of it without some major problems.

You can go in the registry and change the value to 0, instead of 1, for isinstalled making it appear as though OE is not installed then you can try to delete the OE directory, but like said above OE works with Outlook.
