Re: Default mail client

Hi DR,

Try this route instead:

Click Start, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Set Program Access and Defaults. Select "Custom" and select "Outlook Express".

I usually have outlook express set as my default mail client. Now when I hit
on an email link a message comes up saying my default email client not
properly installed. How can I solve this? On my IE 7 browser on option
setting I have outlook express box checked as my default email but its not
working.
Thank you
DR
