Is this an OFFICE issue or XP issue??

Can anybody help?? Is this an OFFICE issue or XP issue??

All I want to be able to do is to RIGHT CLICK on a file in My Documents and
have the SEND TO/MAIL RECIPIENT command open with OFFICE OUTLOOK rather than
EXPRESS.

Also, when I access my mail by clicking the Mail icon on the IE 6 toolbar,
the Read Mail command will open Office Outlook and all the send message
commands (new message, send as a link, send page) open with Express.

I am running XP Pro and use Office Outlook 2003 for my default mail program.
I have checked all the appropriate boxes to make Office Outlook the default.
I have even deleted my mail accounts in Express.

This includes setting TOOLS/OPTIONS/OTHER in Office Outlook to be the
default program for Email, Contacts, and Calendar.

This includes that the TOOLS/OPTIONS/GENERAL setting in Outlook Express is
set such that Express is NOT the Default Mail handler.

I have checked Internet Explorer 6 - TOOLS/INTERNET OPTIONS/PROGRAMS
numerous times to ensure that the appropriate programs are selected.


thanks for your time.

outlook works fine for me. try opening the internet options control panel.
on the programs tab next to e-mail select 'microsoft outlook'.
