You're welcome, Roy.

The reason you couldn't e-mail me directly is because that is a munged
address to avoid spam. All replies should go to the newsgroup unless
otherwise specified.

Note that the four links play a different part in fixing a problem such as
yours. One may be the fix for you while another may be the fix for someone
else. The second link is still viable for XP. It just depends on the exact
problem.

Hi Bruce,

I followed the instructions in links 1 and 2 below and I'm now able to
open
OE from a web link. Thanks very much for your help!

Note: Interestingly, when I tried to send this reply to you individually
(rather than "Reply Group"), I encountered the same problem as originally
stated. While this is not a big deal, if there is an easy fix, I wouldn't
mind knowing how to do it.

Comment: The instructions for link 2 below appear to be geared to a
pre-Windows XP version. You may wish to update the instructions for XP.

Thanks again for your help.
Roy

Hello,

I recently got a new computer, and one of the many mysteries that I
haven't yet solved is this: When I click on a link on a web page to
send
e-mail, my OE doesn't open as it always used to with my old system. When
I click on an e-mail link now, what happens is that a dialog box titled
"Choose Profile" opens, with "Microsoft Outlook" appearing in the form
field.

To make a long story short, I have not been able to successfully get
past
this point so that I am able to open OE from a web link. If anyone could
explain how to set up my system (or direct me to online instructions) to
open OE from a web link, I'd appreciate it very much.

Thanks!
Roy
