How do I make Outlook the default vcard viewer?

Our company has a web-enabled capability to find contacts at other locations.
When the person you are looking for is found, you click on the name.  Doing
so opens Address Book, and when it opens it asks if I want to make it my
default vCard viewer.  Well, I don't, because I can't then save what opens as
an Outlook contact with all my other contacts.  The site won't let me
right-click and save file as (I was thinking it must be a .vcf file, must be
wrong about that).  Is there any way to make opening a vCard default to the
Outlook Address Book instead of Address Book so I can directly save the
information as a contact?  Its a chore to save in Address Book and then go
through all the hoops to import into Contacts every time I want to save one
of these lookups.

Have you tried associating VCF files with Outlook? Path should look
something like this:
"C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~2\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE" /v "%1"
