Hello,
On my boss's computer Outlook 2000 is set as the default email client.
However, when he is viewing a message in Outlook and clicks on an email
address it opens a blank message in Outlook Express, not Outlook. I have
checked "Set Program Access and Defaults" and they are set to "Use my
current email client" (with Outlook Express as the only other choice, and
obviously not selected). And in Internet Explorer, when you go to Tools |
Internet Options... | Programs, "Microsoft Outlook" is set as the default
email client.
Before we installed Outlook 2000 on his computer he did use OE for email. In
OE his account is still there but is inactive. (I removed the check from
before "Include this account when receiving or synchronizing mail". So the
account is just sitting there as sort of backup in case Outlook dies.
He has Windows XP Home SP2.
(My computer is XP Pro SP2 with Outlook 2003. I have all the same settings
as he. When I click an email address it works correctly and opens a new
message in Outlook. I cannot find anything different between the two
computers.)
I have searched the Microsoft KB with no success. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Gene
