That setting would apply in going from a link in your mail program to
your browser. So if you receive an e-mail in Outlook Express with a
link and click the link, your default browser will open it.

Your issue is going in the reverse direction from IE to your mail
program. And for that, you default mail program comes into play.

Would the check box on ToolsInternet OptionsPrograms, at bottom,
"Internet
Explore should check to see if it is the default browser"? I do use
other
browsers from time to time.
