Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Set Program Access and Defaults |
Custom + Down Arrow | Select the radio button for Outlook Express.

Make OE the default e-mail client:

That should be all you need, but some more reading for you.

For links in e-mail:

And:

Restores OE to the E-mail clients list in Internet Options

If you have MS Outlook installed, also see #13:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#13

"Send To" and E-mail Links Do Not Work Using Outlook Express as Default:

Multiple browser windows open when you click on a mailto: link:

Attachments don't float somewhere out in the cyber ether while disconnected
from e-mails. Attachments are *in* e-mails. Why did you install or leave
installed Windows Live Mail if you don't want to use it? If you want to
default to opening *e-mails* in Outlook Express, make it your default e-mail
client (Internet Options - Programs tab).

Whether or not Outlook Express is available on your host depends on WHICH
version of Windows you have but never mentioned.

I'm guessing these are EML attachments (forwarded messages)

OLEXP: Unable to Open EML File Attachments in Outlook Express
(Fixing the EML File Association)
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=312355
If the abbreviated command in the above article doesn't work,
then try: Start, Run and enter the following (with the quotation marks):
"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /reg
