Has anyone discovered a way to keep Microsoft from re-installing
Outlook Express when it does updates?<br>
We have removed it time and again from our public computers and it
finds some way to sneak back in.<br>
Any thoughts appreciated ~<br>

<p><font face="Arial" size="2">Here is a solution to the Mail a web
page from the browser(or adobe) problem that libraries may face where
Patrons may want to mail a page they are on to themselves for future
reference. Rather then having to allow them to send mail from your own
server you can set the default mail client in Windows to be Yahoo or
Gmail with the below two utilities from Chris Wood. Then instruct your
users to use their gmail or yahoo account (whichever utility you choose
to install) to send mail from. I picked up the tip on this from a
twitter from Paul Thurrot.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">The download and information page from
Yattach to use Yahoo as the default mail client is:</font> <br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://chris.wood.name/yAttach/"><u><font
color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">http://chris.wood.name/yAttach/</font></u></a>
</p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">For Google Gmail it is:</font> <br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://chris.wood.name/gAttach/"><u><font
color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">http://chris.wood.name/gAttach/</font></u></a>
</p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">The Yattach and Gattach add-ons allow
you to send email via either Yahoo or Gmail directly from</font> <br>
<font face="Arial" size="2">Explorer</font> <br>
<font face="Arial" size="2">Microsoft Office</font> <br>
<font face="Arial" size="2">Adobe Acrobat</font> <br>
<font face="Arial" size="2">Windows Photo Gallery</font> <br>
<font face="Arial" size="2">Internet Explorer </font><br>
<font face="Arial" size="2">Firefox and more</font> </p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">This allows you to remove any local
email programs like Outlook and Outlook Express to prevent users from
saving and receiving emails directly to your workstations. </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">Drawback of course is that you have to
encourage patrons to open a Yahoo or Gmail account depending on which
plug-in you load, meaning your library has to commit to one or the
other but it will reduce spam coming into your domain if you do this. I
tend to prefer Gmail over Yahoo because it opens more types of
attachments and lets you even view them as a webpage if you like. I
believe that Google has finally removed the requirement to have a cell
phone to sign up for a Gmail account making it that much easier and
having a Google ID allows you access to all of the other Google
Apps(writer, spreadsheet, etc) that your users will benefit from
anyways. </font></p>
