URL:mailto protocol

mrhaun03

I have a user who is trying to click an email link on a webpage and it opens up a bunch of IE windows instead of a new message in Outlook 2003. I narrowed the problem down to the computer missing the URL:mailto protocol.

Under Explorer go to TOOLS > FOLDER OPTIONS > FILE TYPES...it should be listed there. Does anybody know how to add this? I've been searching Google but haven't found anything good yet. I never messed with this before so it's all new to me...any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried setting the default email program in IE under Tools>Internet Options>Programs?

It's already set to that.

The registry file on that site is what I needed. Thanks blackmage439!
