Done all that with no luck. I'm just having to live with it!

There's a "Make Outlook the default program for Email, Contacts and Calendar" under Tools -> Options -> Other. If that doesn't work, you may want to check out the MS support site (http://support.microsoft.com) to see if other people are having similar problems...

Done that already. Have done everything but still defaults to Outlook when clicking on an email link. Although when going 'send a link' email does open outlook!! Odd

You need to change it in Internet Explorer. Go to Tools -> Internet Options, then to the Programs Tab. Simply select Outlook from the dropdown box, and you're done

Done all of that and still opens OE when I click on an email link even though it's not ticked as default and outlook is! Guess I'll just have to live with it

I tried changing my default email client from Outlook Express 6.0 to Outlook 2K from the IE>Tools>Internet Options>Programs pop up, and it seems to work fine for me. [I got IE 6.0]
I don't know if this is necessary, but keep Outlook and OE closed while making the changes in IE. Then, try clicking any email link on a site, and voila!
Have you configured Outlook to send and receive email yet?
If nothing works, try reinstalling Office/IE and start from scratch. It will definitely work in that case.
Another option is to go to the 'Tools' menu in Outlook Express and select 'Options'. There is a checkbox here called 'Make Outlook Express my default mail client' - if you uncheck this Outlook Express will no longer be invoked if you try to send mail from, say, a link on the web.
Cheers.

Hmm, I didn't get email notification of your post...

forgot about that! That's almost certainly true.

Julia, can you uninstall OE via Control Panel Add/Remove? Just checked my system and OE isn't on it, so I must have got rid of it - I use Eudora.

I have tried both and no luck. Oh well maybe I'm just stuck with it as annoying as it is!
