I use Outlook Express 6. After a recent update with microsoft, now when I
click on an email address, outlook opens a new email window. BUT I do not
use outlook! How did this happen and how do I make it right? Thanks!

You got an update for MS Outlook an it changed the default mail client to
Outlook. This new *feature* will never be fixed. If you don't use Outlook,
and you uninstall it, you /shouldn't/ get updates for it in the future.

Make OE the default e-mail client:

For links in e-mail:

And:

Restores OE to the E-mail clients list in Internet Options

If you have MS Outlook installed, also see:
