How to make Outlook my default mail client

[tshad]

I had Eudora on my machine before (and it is still on my machine) but I
don't use it anymore.

I am using Outlook 2003 at the moment, but in when I click on a link in
Eudora that would normally bring up an email client, I get Eudora and not
Outlook.

How to I make email links (mailto) open Outlook instead of Eudora?

Thanks,

Tom

Depends on your operating system which you did not post.

First make sure you have set Outlook as your default email program in
Control Panel > Internet Options > Programs.
Then make sure you have set the following for the open command for the
URL:Mailto Protocol:
"<drive>:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~4\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE" -c IPM.Note /m "%1"
