Click the Windows 'Start' button and select 'Run.' 7. Right-click in a blank area, select 'New' and then choose 'Folder.' Name the folder (example: OutlookExpressbackup) and press 'Enter' to confirm the name. But I barely know what I am doing and don't have a clue where to start. Click 'OK' on the next screen to close the open dialog boxes, and then shut down Outlook Express. I thought that if I edit the boot or config or personal settings file to remove the command to set up my personalized settings for Outlook Express that would fix the problem. Also, if I start Windows in Safe Mode with Networking I can get into my account area.
REMOVE OUTLOOK EXPRESS 6 WINDOWS XP UPDATE
This update also addresses two issues in which Outlook Express stops responding.

When I try to open any other User account with admin privileges I get the same message, however, I can get into either of my kids User accounts and thought that was because they don't have admin privileges. Microsoft has released an update for Outlook Express on Windows XP with Service Pack 2 that includes fixes for two very old bugs: the so-called Begin bug in which OE sees an attachment that does not exist, and the Watched message or 'loose catch-up' bug. I have never used Outlook Express and don't know why it would be trying to set up those personalized settings. My workaround is to add a bogus account and delete the real one. I would like to clean all accounts from Outlook Express, but I can't remove the last one.

Installed SP3 and now when I click on my User name the computer hangs up and won't move past this message - "Setting up personalized settings for: Microsoft Outlook Express 6". Using Windows XP and I'm getting rid of the computer. Windows only shows 2 G of RAM and I read somewhere that SP3 fixed some Windows XP limitation that prevented it from showing more than 2G of RAM. I bought 2 new G of RAM to speed up my desktop.
