Hi
I have WINXP Home SP2 with OE 6
Whenever I click on an e-mail link on a website, I get a pop up
window with the following message:
could not perform this operation because the default mail client is
not properly installed.
How do I fix this so that I can e-mail directly from their link. This
happens everytime.
Thanks in advance.

Go to Start | Run and type this command, with the double quotes and spaces:
"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /reg
and then make sure that OE is selected as the default mail program in both
IE and OE.
If that isn't enough, see this article:
