I've got a lady who, when she clicks on a 'mailto' link, it's bringing up Outlook Express, even though the default mail program in IE is Outlook.

One of my co-workers thought there was some kind of reg hack for this, but couldn't remember for sure.

Any suggestions?

Sorry, "customer." Like, someone I support at my job.

On a personal level, I am currently lady-less. :(

Yep. I already made sure that was the setting. It's still pulling up Outlook Express. >:

the reference link at the bottom of that page should have all the registry information you could possibly need.

if that doesn't help, i suggest you consult a professional.

Supposedly, I am a professional. Doesn't mean I excel at it. Bob Uecker was, technically speaking, a professional baseball player. But he wasn't very good at it. He, like me, was a paycheck player.

At any rate, thanks for the link.
