default email client
 

I have a user who has Windows XP, Internet Explorer 6, OE 6 and MS Office
2007, with Outlook 2007
She has Outlook 2007 selected as her default email client.
However, when she is using Internet Explorer, and does FileSendPage by
email, an Outlook Express message window opens.

How can we ensure that an Outlook 2007 message window will open when she
does this?

Thanks,
Jim

In Windows Explorer click Tools | Folder Options | File Types. Scroll down
a bit and find URL: MailTo Protocol among those with no extension. Select
it and click Advanced. Select 'open' and click Edit. Make sure Application
points to Outlook.

Frank:

I checked her settings for the file type URL: MailTo Protocol, and it
already points to Outlook.
The only funny-bunny is that she has two indentical entries called URL:
MailTo Protocol, and they both point to Outlook.
Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Jim

When I do the above setup for MailTo, when I click on a reply to email
address or try to send a link, Outlook opens continuously where over 50
instances initiate and it is rough to stop them continuously opening. I
selected the Run option with the Outlook program to be set up under the
Advanced selection.

If this question refers only to Outlook, please remove the two Outlook
Express groups from further posts. Thank you.

Sinner:

That tab correctly sez Microsoft Office Outlook for the email client.
