In internet explorer when I click to the E-mail address it opens up Microsoft Outlook. My Internet Options are set to use Outlook Express for E-mail and Newsgroups. How do I get it back? The only thing set to use Microsoft Office Outlook is Calendar.
Clicking E-mail address in IE opens Outlook Express
Do these first to ensure OE is really your default client in sending email through IE:
-
Go to Start and then Run. In the run box type "C:PROGRAM FILESOUTLOOK EXPRESSMSIMN.EXE" /reg
-
Press Enter
-
Open up IE, go to Tools, Internet Options, Programs and pick Outlook Express as your default mail client
For your hyperlinks to start using Outlook Express, follow the steps below:
-
Open IE, go to View, Folder Options and File Types in Windows Explorer.
-
The values for URL:MailTo Protocol should be application:
"C:PROGRAM FILESOUTLOOK EXPRESSMSIMN.EXE" /mailurl:%1
Another way of setting Outlook Express as the default mail client:
-
Go to Control Panel> Add/Remove Programs
-
Choose Set Programs Access and Defaults
-
Select Custom and then Choose a Default Email Program by setting it to Outlook Express
Good luck!
