MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / October 2005How to make Outlook my default program for vcf files?
Not sure how to do this. Before when I got a vcf attached to an email and opened it up, it opened up in Outlook. Now it opens in Palm Desktop and I need to save the vcf and drag it into Outlook. How can I change this? > Not sure how to do this. Before when I got a vcf attached to an > email and opened it up, it opened up in Outlook.

It makes the vcf files open up as the body of an Outlook email, for some reason. > > Not sure how to do this.

OK, then, click Start>Run and enter regedit in the Open field. Click OK. Locate the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\vcffile\shell\open\command. Dounble-click "(Default)" in the right-hand pane and enter the following as the value. Be sure to specify spaces and quotes. "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Officexx\outlook.exe" /v "%1" In the above, the "xx" reflects your Outlook version, which you decided wasn't important enough to mention. Use "10" for Outlook 2002, "11" for Outlook 2003 or whatever your path to Outlook's executable shows is correct. SignatureBrian Tillman > Thanks for your help, but unfortunately that doesn't work.

Oh, and it wouldn't hurt to make the same change to the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_COMPUTER\Software\Classes\vcffile\shell\open\command SignatureBrian Tillman
