    Outlook XP help!!!

    Locked

    by jshtcm213 · about 18 years, 7 months ago

    Im using Windows Xp and Office XP.
    I did fresh install and everything works fine except for when I open up Outlook, it always asks me if I want to make Outlook my default manager for mail, calendar, etc…. I click yes. But it always asks me that everytime I open up Outlook. Im using Outlook not Outlook Express and I retrieve my mail from an Exchange 2003 server. How can I make Outlook my default manager. Also, my task reminders in Outlook will automatically pop up on my desktop!!! How can I make the task reminders go straight to my task bar instead of popping up on my desktop in multiple windows. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!!

      In Outlook, go to the Tools menu, Options, Other, and tick the box next to “Make Outlook the default program for Mail, Contacts and Calendar”

      Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
      Move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail
      Double click the (Default) value and set to “Microsoft Outlook” (don’t type the quotes)
      Move to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto
      Double click the (Default) value and set to “URL:MailTo Protocol” (don’t type the quotes)
      Double click the EditFlags value and set to 02 00 00 00
      Double click the URL Protocol value and clear
      Move to the DefaultIcon folder (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\DefaultIcon)
      Double click the (Default) value and set to
      “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\outllib.dll”,-12
      Move to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command
      Doucle click (Default) and change to
      “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\outlook.exe” -c IPM.Note /m “%1”
      Alternate values (such as Lotus Notes) are:
      “C:\Program Files\notes\notes.exe”=C:\WINNT\notes.ini %1
      Reboot the computer

      If not comfortable with editing the registry,you should try using IE to change the email default
      Click Tools–>Internet Options,click the Programs Tab,now select Outlook in the box as your default email
