How do I plot addresses from outlook to Street and trips 2005

[Jakelle21]

In outlook contacts, when I click on icon "display map of address" it
automatically defaults to MS explorer and goes to the MSN web page for maps.
What I want it to do is plot the address in MS Street and Trips 2005 that I
have installed on the the same PC. This feature works for Pocket Street 2005
in my handheld and is awesome. I just want it to do the same on my desk top.
Is there a default setting I'm missing??

Check to see if Streets and Trips has an option to integrate with
Outlook...otherwise, there's no way to do what you're asking since the map
link in Outlook points to a web address, not a local program.

Thanks and great link, however it didn't seem to work for outlook 2003. It
was for an older version. Interestingly it indicated that when mappoint is
installed that the icon will change from a road map icon to a pushpin style
icon. Currently in my version of outlook 2003 the icon is the road map icon.
Got any other tips, if pocket streets can do it, I'm sure it can be done on
the desktop application as well. Thanks
