Raynovac,

Check the setting in Internet Options under the Programs tab.  Look at what you have for the Mail program.  It is probably blank or invalid.  Select a Outlook, which should be in the list, and the problem will be fixed.

Let me know if you have any questions or need more information.

I have something funny going on for one of my computers.<br />
<br />
When I click on a hyperlink that is a mailto type of link, if will open Internet explorer 65 times with the link in the URL i.e. mailto:test@test.com<br />
<br />
This happens in any internet browser (firefox and Internet Explorer) and applications such as Word and excel.<br />
<br />
I figure it might be a registry problem but I can't find/fix it.<br />
<br />
Any help would be much appreicated.

Mailto hyperlinks open in explorer instead of outlook

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.

Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager from Microsoft, available as a part of the Microsoft Office suite. Although often used mainly as an email application, it also includes a calendar, task manager, contact manager, note-taker, journal, and web browser.
