David, Can you please let me know if the Outlook Express works on the Win 7 pc at a later date after you get done testing it.
It would be greatly appreciated.

This is why I stopped doing the windows mail hack some years ago for other people. Try installing service pack 1 after that and you'll see what fun you will have. There is a deal where outlook express is able to run on windows 7 and although I am not suggesting at this point it be included in the normal events of the day I am taking it around the block on this test system I recently inherited for the lack of a better word. Somebody just dropped off a system for me to fiddle with and I upgraded it from XP to 7 on my own by adding some extra memory then using a spare license I had on the shelf. So far the results are good, but like I said this is a system I can recover in just a few minutes without the fear of losing anything.

So anyone thinking of trying this registry hack should think twice.
