Send to Mail Recipient brings up Hotmail instead of Outlook

[Guest]

Running Windows XP Home with Outlook 2003 SP-2. When I right-click on a File
and select Send To -> Mail Recipient, it consistently brings up Internet
Explorer trying to log onto Hotmail (whether or not Outlook is running). I
tried going into Internet Options and changed the default Email program from
Outlook to Outlook Express and then back to Outlook. I verified that the
URL:MailTo in Folder Options->File Types is pointing to Outlook correctly. I
ran a Detect and Repair on Outlook and I have rebooted the computer many
times (this issue has been ongoing as far back as I can remember). Anything I
missed?

Thanks!

Thanks for the response. Under "Choose a default e-mail program" it only has
listed "Use my current e-mail program" (which is selected) and "Outlook
Express".

You're not running IE7 Beta2, are you?
