Thunderbird works fine, but when I shut down my PC (running Vista) none of the links to open the programme work and I need to reinstall. The folders I set up are still there after the reinstall, as are the messages!

Not sure what to do!

TIA :-)

That sounds like Vista rolling back to a known good state on restart. I think you need to check the health of your operating system and it's computer (Memory and Hard Disk particularly)
