First as always, I want to say thanks for those that contribute especially
the MVP's.

Windows XP Home sp2
Office '03, had '07 beta but I uninstalled and reinstalled '03


Hi, I recieved an email from a wanted source. In the body there was an eamil
address hyperlinked with a different address underneath. It was from the
same company so I am not worried about anything there.

The problem is I have had this in the past and do not know if the hyperlink
was a different address. Meanwhile back at the ranch, when I click on the
email address 45+ Browser windows proceeded to open. When I pressed Ctrl,
Alt, Del to get to task manager, I get a dunk.

Like I said this has happened in the past, but I did not check to see if the
underlying email was different (if that makes a difference, I don't know,
just reporting what I know. The only way to gain control back is a hard
boot.

Try repairing the "URL:MailTo" file type in Control Panel's Folder Options
applet.

Use regedit to search your registry for "mailto". If you find it, it should
be under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Its definition should look similar to this:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto]
"EditFlags"=dword:00000002
"URL Protocol"=""
@="URL:MailTo Protocol"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\DefaultIcon]
@="\"C:\\PROGRA~1\\MICROS~2\\OFFICE12\\OUTLOOK.EXE\",7"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\PROGRA~1\\MICROS~2\\OFFICE12\\OUTLOOK.EXE\" -c IPM.Note /m \"%1\""
