Thank you very much.

The advice on that site to chose another email client and
then change it back to the one you want, in my case Outlook,
worked perfectly.

I appreciate it.

Take care,

I concur. My problem involved getting only 17 IE7 instances popping up
on Windows XP, but it was the same beyond that. I tried the other
suggestions for fixing this. The one that worked was that of assigning
Forte Agent (it was the first email client I could think of) as the
default email client and then resetting Outlook 2003 as the default.
Just in case, I restarted IE7 between setting the two defaults.

I don't know what is breaking the original default setting, but it
seems unusually common.
