IE Default Email

[Ryder]

I've downloaded and am testing WLM for certain features, but have not made
it my default mail client.....

With WLM closed and OE opened, and IE opened, I tried to send a web page by
email and WLM opened instead of OE. I closed WLM and checked the settings
in IE to make sure that OE was listed as the default mail program, which it
was. I checked the settings in both OE and WLM to make sure the former was
the default, and the latter was not. I tired again to send the web page via
the default email client and again, WLM opened instead of OE.

Has anyone experienced this problem?

Now, why would this behavior occur when all the settings point to OE as the
default mail client? Do I need to go into the folder options, file
associations and change the program that sends web pages, or go into the
registry somewhere?

I know I have to change these options in IE whenever MS performs updates,
because the default email program always seems to change to Outlook after MS
updates.

Thanks for any help or explanations to resolve this peculiarity.

Regards,
Ryder

Thanks. I saw in Control Panel under Microsoft that BOTH OE and Windows
Mail shared the default Email program, even if the settings everywhere else
in the obvious places "claim" that OE is the default. The only way to
change it was via Custom.

Again, that did the trick.
