Setting Default Email Client
WIN XP HE
Hi,. I use a program that has a menu item as such: Tool|Read Mail This is (obviously) designed to open up your default email client (in my case Outlook 2002). Unfortunately for me, for some unknown reason, when I try to use this option, it wants me to install MSN Explorer--just as if I had chosen hotmail as my default email or MSN Explorer. In my IE 6 settings under Programs, Outlook is the default email client. I have also notice some registry keys that could be causing this incorrect behavior but I am not sure. Is there a setting that I can modify to "release" this MSN Explorer thing? Perhaps, the program I use is looking at some WIN XP setting and thinks that MSN Explorer is connected to my default email client.... Suggestions? Tx, S |
