Hello,<br />
<br />
This is a tough question. How can I set Outlook to be the default email client for Windows? I want to do this in a logon script. The operating systems will be XP, and Windows 7, and the Outlook clients are Outlook 2007 and 2010 (32bit). <br />

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.
