I have never set up Outlook because I do not use it. I am using Eudora 6.2.
I have my browser set to default to Eudora when I find an email link on a web site.
In spite of this when I click an email link I get an opening screen to use Outlook.
How can I change the default to Eudora?
This works fine on another computer I have running 98b.

H,
I hate to say this, but I've tried that also. It is set for Eudora, but up pops outlook each and every time.
Thanks for your reply...........Rich J.

You could uninstall Outlook.

In the Value Data field, type in the path of the exe, i.e. "C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~2\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.exe" -c IPM.Note /m "%1"
