Set Outlook as your default email program (2000/2002/2003)

If you use Outlook all the time, which we encourage you to do, you'll want to set it as the default email program for your system. In Windows, choose Start | Control Panel (Start | Settings | Control Panel in Windows 98 and 2000). Then, double-click on the Internet Options icon. Click on the Programs tab and choose Microsoft Outlook from the E-mail dropdown list. Click OK and you're all set.
