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? |

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! Terry |
