Appreciate the help. The first fix resolved the problem of setting OE to
be
the default. Still have the Exchange/Outlook problem. Followed the
article
you sent me via URL and it worked. Registry Edit is not my cup of tea but
I
managed to fat finger it.

Do not know how that happened. As I said, I was roaming through Outlook
and
I must have roamed too far.

Thank You for the assistance

Thanks for the feedback, you probably did not cause it? MS Outlook provides
an update to its junk mail filter via auto updates each month, and it steals
itself the default mail setting.

BTW, in future if you wish to post the same message to multiple newsgroups
please cross post by adding the groups in the newsgroups line of the new
post.
