I recently converted from Outlook Express to Outlook for e-mail. The only
thing that is not working is when I'm on the internet and want to e-mail a
URL or page. It defaults to Express. I've made the correct changes to the
various Programs, making Outlook the default, but Express continues to come
up. It also comes up with a question as to whether or not I want to make it
my default. Outlook does come up when I request to read mail. Is there
another setting somewhere that I need to change? Thanks.
 
From within IE, 'Tools|Internet Options|Programs', select "Microsoft
Outlook" in the "E-mail" window. If that doesn't seem to work, try starting
Outlook with the /CheckClient command line switch.

work.
I'm sure IE is recognizing Outlook because when I click to read mail it does
in fact go to Outlook for mail. It's just when I try to send something while
 
Information on using command line switches with Outlook are explained in the

To use the /CheckClient switch, go to 'Start|Run' and type:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Outlook.exe" /CheckClient
