please help OE & OL between 2 users

I use Outlook and am admin user. My girlfriend uses OE
and is limited user. When she clicks send to menu on
pics and the like to send to mail recepient, it opens an
Outlook new message window to send. However, this never
works as she doesnt use Outlook. Therefore, the messages
just accumulate in her Outlook outbox. Can it not be set
to use OE? I have attempted to change the default email
with no luck. OE still states it is not the defualt even
for her but cannot be changes unless by me (admin) and I
want to use Outlook as my default.

I have done everthing but the registry entry in
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306098 to no avail, it
will not set OE as default. Should I do the registry
change under her limited user login, will this change
Outlook as my own default?

One of the major omissions with XP. You can only set ONE default email
program across the entire machine. You cannot set default email programs
per user. Way to go MS!

Yes thank you. That fixed the problem as stated in my
original post. This should be a built in utility, Im
sure many have had the same problem. Of course, many may
have had sense enough to fix it themselves. Anyway,
thanks for the help!
