Following a complete client re-installation I can no longer send url links
by email.
Under Internet Options; Programs there are no associated programs for
E-Mail. Microsoft Outlook correctly occupies the other relevant options.
Outlook 2002 is running as an Exchange client.
Any thoughts anyone?
Regards
Chris Curtis

Outlook and Outlook Express are different programs. I suggest that you ask
in an Outlook newsgroup:

Hi Chris,
I have the same trouble with my email selection in
Internet Options - Programs. It won't let me enter my
email program. I'm running Windows 2K with Outlook
Express.

From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/defaultl.htm

Go to Start | Run and type this command, with the double quotes and spaces:

"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /reg

and then make sure that OE is selected as the default mail program in both
IE and OE.

If that isn't enough, see this article:
"Send To" and E-mail Links Do Not Work Using Outlook Express as Default:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306098

You might also want to try this:

Thanks Frank!
I'll have a look at those suggestions tomorrow in the office.
It's never happened before on any of the clients.

I'll post back if (when; let's be positive!) I find an answer

Through the slipstick link I realised I was missing relevant mailto entries
in the registry.
Used the Outlook repair facility which restored (installed) them!
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Frank
