IE - No Default Mail Client?

[5150]

When attempting to send an email via a web site I get a "No default client" installed and 100 windows open. If I click File/Send page by email Outlook loads up just fine. Under Internet options Outlook (not OE) is selected as the default mail client. I have run a check for spyware and nothing is detected. Anyone have an idea as to what could be going on?

THANKS!!!!!!

This is controled in the filetypes section of the folder options dialog.

Open My Computer

Click Tools > Then Folder Options

Click the File types Tab

A short way down the list you will find an entry for URL:Mailto Protocol, Highlight this option.

Click the Advanced Button > Highlight the open entry > Click Edit

Make sure the following entries are correct.

Action:open
Application Used to perform this action: "C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\Office10\OUTLOOK.EXE" -c IPM.Note /m "%1"
(your file path is probably different, make sure you include -c IPM.Note /m "%1 at the end of you path.
Use DDE:Is Ticked
Application:OUTLOOK
Topic:system

Accept the changes and restart your browser.

If you do not have an open entry, create one.
