Change the start page of Outlook Express.

This setting enables you to change the start page that Outlook Express loads at the launch of the application.

Tweak for : Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows 2000

Description:

Outlook Express loads a default page in the right pane, every time the application is started. In place of this you can use your own custom start page to load every time with the application.

For this, go to Start > Run, enter “regedit” and navigate to the registry path listed below. You can create a String value “FrontPagePath”, if this value does not exist.

Now, right-click and modify the value with the complete path of desired filename which can change the Outlook Express start page. However, if you want to show the default page back, delete the value.

Restart Outlook Express for the changes to take effect.

NOTE:
The unique identity key is unique for each user identity.
