Making Outlook 2000 default
ssswilson 30.09.2006 20:30:01
I have Outlook 2000 and outlook Express installed. Outlook 2000 is supposed
to be default, but when I click a link for email address on a site Outlook
Express always opens. According to Express options, it is not default. How
can I get Outlook 2000 to open when clicking email links.

Thanks in advance.

Take a look in My Computer or Windows Explorer:
Go to the View menu
Options
File types tab
Highlight URL:MailTo Protocol
Click Edit
Highlight open
Click Edit
Make sure Outlook is your default program. The "Application used to perform
action" should look something like this:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OUTLOOK.EXE" -c IPM.Note /m "%1"
(Change the path to match your system)

Hmmm, I don't have that. I have a URL "internet shortcut", but that is it.
I'll have to check another machine.

You have no URL:MailTo ?
Perhaps you could cut to the chase by stating your operating system since
that is what is in play here.
