Maybe some other computer techie knows the inside fix on this one.
For some reason, I can't get mail to: URLs to get Outlook to come up. I have to go in and reset the Internet option--it works but it just doesn't stick around for the next session. This is a big pain to do every time I go online. Is there some inside regedit or other trick. I've set this in the folders options too. Something just ain't right. I'm using Outlook 2000 SR-1 and IE 5.5 with SP1 and Win 98 SE.

Yep did that and also did the URL file type bit under My Computer View Folder options. There's also a default mail program setting in my Earthlink dial up and that's properly set as well.
I'm thinking reinstall Outlook and the SR-1 patch for it, but I'd like to avoid that.

Not knowing what else to do, I ran a repair on IE and did the same with Office 2000. Fired it up, clicked on an auction mailto link and...drum roll...it worked! Ta Dah! If it stays that way, I am a happy camper.

Remember once you go to tool and set the program you have to click the apply button for the changes to be saved, if you still have a problem use the Internet explorer repair or restore tool. http://www.Dman-N-Company.com
