Mailto Protocol

For some reason, when I try to start a new Outlook mail message either from a
link in a website or from a link in an email message, I get an error that
says mailto protocal is not set up correctly and 50 blank webpages pop open!
It is very frustrating. I have gone through and made sure my link was
correct in my file types and have set Outlook as my defaul mail. Does anyone
else have any suggestions? Thanks

Open Internet Explorer and select Tools > Internet Options. Go to the
programs tab. Set Outlook Express as the default mail handler, apply it,
and then switch it back to Microsoft Outlook.
