mailto: not working

[Tony Styles]

Icons on my desktop with mailto:[email protected] and
mailto: hyperlinks don't work. Error message "Could not
perform this operation as the default email client is not
properly installed."

I am using Windows XP Home with Outlook 2003. Outlook
2003 has only recently been installed and I am sure the
mailto: feature has worked. I have looked at the email
options and the "Use Outlook as the default" box is
checked.

Any suggestions?

Kind regards

Tony

Ignore me !!

After weeks of trying to sort this one out I have just
loaded Outlook and it told me that it was not my default
email client and would I like to make it so?

Said 'Yes'

Problem sorted.

Don't ask me how.

Kind regards

Tony
