Hello.

Outlook 2003 is listed as my default e-mail program in both Outlook and IE. No problems until this week. Now, when I click on a 'mail-to' link in a webpage, I get an error message "Could Not Perform This Operation Because The Default E-mail Client Is Not Properly Installed" and multiple windows open in IE (60+).

I have searched for a solution, and it seems from the info I've found it is a registry issue; however, the solutions I found didn't work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Cooper123!

This normally happens when Outlook Express is set as the default mail client.
Open IE go to > tools > internet options > programs and set the email default to Outlook, then click apply and ok.

Thanks, but that's not the issue. Outlook is set as my default e-mail in IE, Options, Programs. There are other "users" who use OE as their default, but this has never been an issue before. Any other thoughts?
