Steve,

Thanks for the tip but that is not the problem. But, since you
brought the subject up, occasionally when I try to email a hyperlink,
I find that the Default Email program has been changed by some
unknown reason. It happens only every once in a while, but I wonder
that caused it.

Is Outlook installed? Do you use it for anything?
Outlook updates often steal the default from Outlook Express.
