I am trying to help a neighbor with an email problem.
She cannot open any email links that are presented in either an email or a web page.
She can open any web links, just not links to an email address.
She has Windows XP SP2 with full updates.

SNIP

Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs | Set Program Access and Defaults

Thanks for the links again, the dougknox script did not fix the problem.
The MS article is the same one I found earlier and it does not fix the problem.
