Outlook 2003 not listed in "Set Default Programs" in Vista Options
Greetings,
When I click a mailto: link in IE7 I would like Outlook 2003 to open. However, on my Vista Ultimate installation it tries to open Windows Mail instead. I thought I would fix that by going to "Start-Default Programs-Set Your Default Programs" and configuring Outlook 2003 there. However, Outlook 2003 is not listed in the "Programs" list! How can I make Outlook 2003 my default e-mail program if it's not listed there? I've read some other discussions about this same problem, but no one seems to have a solution. Has anyone figured this out yet? Thanks for your help. Regards, Scott

How can I make Outlook 2003 my default e-mail program if it's not listed there? In Outlook, click ToolsOptionsOther, is "Make Outlook the default program for E-mail, Contacts, and Calendar" checked? -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Yes, it is checked. Any other ideas? Thank you.

In Outlook (or any other Office app), try HelpDetect and Repair -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] I tried that suggestion, but it didn't make any difference. Outlook 2003 still does not appear in the "Progams" list. IE is there, Windows Mail is there, but no Outlook! Thanks for your help.

Scott, I had this problem since I installed vista and office 2003 in Jan
2007. Never found a fix having asked in lots of different forums and sites. It only started working after I installed Office 2007. Not much help, sorry.
