    I am using MS Outlook 2003 and have it set to be the default mail program. However, when I click on a mail link, I get Windows Mail opening up. How do I change this?

    Thank you,
    Rosy

    I assume the email link is from your internet browser?

    If so you can set it in your browser options on which program to launch.

    Best and sure way is to open up taskbar properties -> start menu -> customize start menu. There you have the option at the bottom where it says e-mail link and set that to outlook.
