IE6 Default Mail Progam

[Guest]

I cannot seem to change the default mail program from Outlook Express on a
Win XP box with SP2???? When I click on the Send Page By E-mail or Send Link
by E-mail, by clicking on the File menu, within Internet Explorer, it takes
me to the Outlook Express?? I have even tried to update OfficeXP to Office
2003. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks a bunch!

DC, I have a similar problem. I cannot get IE-6 to use my installed Outlook
Express when I click the mail button in IE-6. I have Outlook Express
configured to be my defalult email program both from within Internet Options
in IE-6, and in Outlook Express options. I also have "Outlook" installed,
but secifically have this program "deselected" as the default email
program........When I click on the mail button in IE-6, to send a link or a
page, IE-6 used to send my link or page to my Outlook Express program for
mailing. Now for some reason I get an "Outlook" message box when I click the
IE-6 mail button that states the following "Either there is no default mail
client or current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please
run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail Client"....... Can
anyone help me fix this problem, I want IE-6 to use Outlook Express with
Internet Explorer, not Outlook, and now all I get is this message.

Thanks for the help.

Try Run... msimn /unreg

BTW configuring Outlook is off-topic for this newsgroup.
Try an Outlook newsgroup.
