I am trying to change the default for the MAILTO protocal. (i.e. when I
click a email link on a website)
Right now, Windows Mail is the only program listed for when I try to set
associations for the MAILTO protocal.
I did some searching/help and I read somewhere (cant remember where) that
the program may not have been registered corretly and isnt listed on the
registry.
How can I fix this so the protocal uses Outlook and not Windows mail?
In Vista, set the default mail program on the Start Menu, Default Programs.
It's not a file association. It's the default program. Make sure your Outlook
program is set up properly and working.

I do have vista. And when I go to the default programs, Outlook is not even
listed. Even though I have it installed and use it for email.

ONE MORE THING. I am using Outlook 2003 on a vista machine. My boss uses
Outlook 2007 and his shows up on the default list, but mine doesnt. Do I
need to upgrade to 2007?
