I am working with a workstation that has office 2000 installed and outlook as the default mail handler.
On this machine Lotus notes ver. 4.6 is also installed. Now, when I try to open a mailto link in internet explorer it defaults to lotus mail instead of outlook, even lotus mail is not enabled and in the internet options of internet explorer outlook is set as the default email handler.
Is there a way that I can manually set outlook as the default mail handler?
Knowing that mailto does not use mapi it just looks for the default mail handler and uses that.

Go to the Control Panel, then Mail, then in the Services list, set Outlook Personal Folders, or Microsoft Exchange Server as the default message store.

If I start outlook express and make it the default mail handler then start outlook i am prompted to make that the default mail handler.
Is there a registry key that I can manipulate to do this automatically?
