e-mail hyperlink opens over 50 IE browser windows

[MTL]

When clicking on an e-mail hyperlink in word (I believe it's word 2003), over
50 IE browser windows opens rather than opening a single e-mail window. This
only occurs with e-mail hyperlinks. Web hyperlinks opens a single IE browser
and links to the correct address.
OS is Windows XP SP2 - Everything is updated in Windows, Office and
antivirus program. No virus. Firewall works.
Word was pre-installed on her computer as part of the Microsoft Works
package that came with the computer.

Open Internet Explorer and go to Tools, Options and select the Programs tab.
Make sure that Outlook is set as your default mail client.

Thank you - I will try that on Saturday, when I visit my friend. I hope it
works.

This was unfortunately not possible. There was nothing to choose from in the
roll down menu. Am working on the problem via the Internet Explorer 6/General
discussion group.
