Default E Mail Handler

[Ellis & Jill McClure]

I have Mail set as my default e-mail handler. However, whenever I choose to
Send To - Mail Recipient (from Explorer), a Microsoft Outlook window/e-mail
opens. Any suggestions as to how I can stop this? Thanks.

Sounds like Windows Mail doesn't have all its defaults.
Open the Default Programs applet, which you can access either from
the Start menu or via the Control Panel, then click the first item:
"Set your default programs."
After a few seconds, a list of programs comes up. Click on "Windows
Mail". If it doesn't respond with "This program has all its defaults"
then fix it by clicking on the option indicated by the first green arrow.

If you dont use Outlook modify your Office installation to make Outlook
unavailable.
It has a habit of being made the default when any office updates are
installed
