Don't understand, what part of mail are you trying to open?

578000 2007-08-08 03:30:00 To get to the Associations listing - Open Control Panel / Default Programs/ Associate Filetype or Protocol with Program.
There you can set all the associations you require. Assuming its a web link the .html should be set to your browser, either IE7, opera what ever.

PS: you may need to change the control panel to "classic View", (Top left hand cornerof the window) to see all the Icons first
PSS: under Default programs there is also the option to reset all programs back to default.

578001 2007-08-08 08:21:00 The good thing about Vista is if you're looking for something you can just hit the "Start button" or orb, and type what it is you're looking for so try that. Win key > "Set Associations". sal (67)
