I've been unsuccessful trying to set OE as the default email through the
Control Panel / Add or Remove / Set Program Access and Defaults route. When
I attmept to send photos through the My Pictures functions, Office Outlook
always loads as the email program. Our address book is in OE. Can anyone
assist?

So undo it in OE and tick where it says to check to see if it's the
default email program. Open OE and when it asks you if you want it to be
the default, click Yes.

That said, why are you using OE when you have Outlook!?

Alias
 
Outlook ASSUMES the default position.

To change it:
open IE , click :
- Tools
- Internet Options
- PROPERTIES
- PROGRAMS
- EMAIL : and choose OE as your default.

Please read the thread before you post. The OP has been there, done that
and it didn't work.
