58195 2002-06-29 01:57:00 When hyperlinking from a specific contact email address on a web site I get a message saying that it can't be done as my "default email client is not properly installed. How do I make it link to Outlook (preferably) to bring up the Outlook new mail form (or alternatively to Outlook Express)?
My OS is ME, if that makes any difference.

58196 2002-06-29 09:23:00 In Outlook Express, which I use, you can go to Tools|Options and under the General tab down the bottom is a button "Make Default" which, if you click it, should make Outlook Express the default mail handler.

There could be a similar option in Outlook if you prefer to use that.

If this does not work your file associations may be pointing elsewhere like mine were not long ago. I can help you with this if necessary.
