Send to ....

[pzroed]

I am running a box with windows XP professional.

I have both Outlook express and MS Outlook 2002 installed
With OE I only have read access on my ISP mail server.
Outlook 2002 is running on a corporate Exchange server.


MS Outlook is set as the default mail handler
MS Outlook is set as the program to handle e-mail in IE.
Outlook express is NOT the default e-mail handler (OE options menue)

Now the following thing happens:

- I try to send a document out of any MS Office Application:
=> MS Outlook message window pops up

- Try to send a link out of IE or try to send a file via the context menue:
=> Outlook Express message window pops up.


I am going nuts. I tried to switch everything back and forth. No change.

Help greatly appreciated.

I'd guess it a "file association" issue. I believe:

URL:Mail to protocol

Is the guilty culprit. Edited it and see if it says OE...

Could you educate me how to do this?

Thanks.

Ooops. Sorry. First BE CAREFUL and note that it might be a different file type than the one I've pointed out.

Open My Computer
Click on Tools->Folder Options->File Type Tab

Go down the list till you see: URL:Mail to protocol
Click the Advanced Button->Edit

Application Used: "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /mailurl:%1 (this is what mine says for OE)

If yours says the same thing you can click the Browse button and seek out Outlook.exe ..

Thanks for your help. I checked the file association, but it already is directing to MS Outlook. Not much to change here.

I am really confused.
