Hello, we’re having a unique problem with Outlook 2000 and 3 new Dell Dimension Windows XP Pro workstations we just installed. For the software we run, we need Outlook 2000 to be the default mail program. Logging in as a local admin, I can set Outlook as the default (through IE and file types in folder options) and get the settings to stick for the admin account. But, as soon as a domain user logs in, Outlook Express is back as the default program and they can’t change this in folder options (no rights) and the settings will not stick in IE.
It’s an annoying problem because as soon as the same user logs onto one of the other Windows 2000 Pro or XP Pro workstations, they don’t have this problem, Outlook stays as the default. So, I’m thinking there’s something freaky with these new, pre-loaded Dells, but can’t find any info about it. Any clue as to what would be causing this?
Thank You!
