Default How to set MS Outlook as the default email service

I am using MS Outlook as my email program. However, in Microsoft Office
(Word, Publisher ...), when I try to 'send to Mail Recipient', the default
program is Outlook Express. Express is not set-up properly and therefor does
not send the message and attachment. I would like to make Outlook the default
program so that I do not need to use two separate programs. (I believe
Outlook is set-up correctly) - Please Help.

Default How to set MS Outlook as the default email service

I tried this and it did not work. Furthermore, when I went back to make sure
that I chose the correct program from the drop-down, I saw that it reverted
back to Outlook Express by itsef. (I tried this a few times. Each time it
reverted back to Express.)
