IE7 Opening wrong email program

[Bob Newman]

Outlook 2003 is set as my default email program and yet when I am on the web
with IE7 (& Vista) when I click File/Send/Page By Email IE7 opens Windows
Mail instead of Outlook, why? My addressbook is not even present in Windows
Mail.

Click the tools button in IE, the select Options and the Programs tab.

There is a button near the bottom which should let you set Outlook as the
default mail cient.


Hope this helps,

Thanks. It was selected elsewhere but I guess IE has it's own setting.

go to Intenet Options.
Click on Programs, Set Programs.
Click on Program Access & Computer Defaults.
Click on downward arrow to the right of Microsoft Windows.
You can make sure that you current email program is selected there rather than Windows Mail.

It works on my Vista machine - it goes to OUTLOOK , so this should work for you.
