Since installing Outlook 2007 on Vista, whenever I click a mailto link on a
web site, GMail launches instead of Outlook.

How do I get Outlook to launch instead of GMail? I have searched far and
wide on both Google and through these forums, but cannot find anyone else
who's posted this issue.

Verify that Outlook is set as your default mail client. Several Google
products such as the Google Toolbar can still override this though to
advertise GMail. Check the options in such Google products which you might
have installed and disable them.
