Use Control Panel's Folder Options applet to make sure your definition of
the URL:MailTo file type has the correct value for running Outlook.

Thanks, Brian. I got it fixed. Also, I'm using Vista and "File Types"
is no longer part of Folder Options. You do that now through Default Programs.

Michael, if you're crossposting to other than a Vista-specific newsgroup
(e.g., IE General, OL General), always state your Windows version in your
first post, please. (Not everyone here may have noticed that you
crossposted your original post to Vista General.) Thanks.

Makes sense, you are absolutely correct.

Will do.
