Vista - Default mail client hijacked by windows search

I installed a beta version of WLM which came with a download for Windows
Search (can't find any version information on this).

Works very nicely with one exception, it seems to hijack my default mail
client from Lotus Notes to Outlook 2002. This is when I attempt to send a
file by right clicking on it and Send To... mail recipient.
Going to control panel and explicitly setting mail client to Lotus Notes and
then re-booting gets me back to Lotus Notes but as soon as I use Windows
search again, it goes back to Outlook 2002.

This is a business use and the 'official' mail client is Lotus Notes.


WLM Version 2008 (build 14.0.5027.0908)
XP Pro, SP3

Cute. Apparently because it's part of the OS it doesn't bother with its own
Help About.

Try using file version to distinguish then.
FWIW I think that I am using WS4.0 and this is what filever shows
about its modules:

<cmd_output OS="XPsp3">
F:\WINDOWS\system32>filever *search*
f:\windows\system32\searchfilterhost.exe
----- W32i APP ENU 7.0.6001.380 shp 87,552 03-25-2008 searchfilterhost.exe
f:\windows\system32\searchindexer.exe
----- W32i APP ENU 7.0.6001.380 shp 440,320 03-25-2008 searchindexer.exe
f:\windows\system32\searchindexer.exe.mui
----- W32i APP ENU 7.0.6001.380 shp 8,192 03-25-2008 searchindexer.exe.mui
f:\windows\system32\searchprotocolhost.exe
----- W32i APP ENU 7.0.6001.380 shp 184,832 03-25-2008 searchprotocolhost.exe
</cmd_output>


So this question isn't really about WLMail. It's more related to Outlook
or Windows Search. There isn't a newsgroup for the latter but there
is a web forum--MSFT personnel even post there...

(via Live Search for
"windows search" outlook default (MSFT OR MVP) forums -communities site:microsoft.com
)


It looks as if most of the errors reported with Outlook there were associated
with the earlier version of WS.


Hmm... looks as if others had a related symptom with WS 4.0 Preview

I had to download Filever.exe but here is what I got:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>filever *search*
c:\windows\system32\searchfilterhost.exe
----- W32i APP ENU 7.0.6001.16503 shp 87,552 05-26-2008
searchfilterhost.exe
c:\windows\system32\searchindexer.exe
----- W32i APP ENU 7.0.6001.16503 shp 439,808 05-26-2008
searchindexer.exe
c:\windows\system32\searchindexer.exe.mui
----- W32i APP ENU 7.0.6001.16503 shp 8,192 05-26-2008
searchindexer.exe.mui
c:\windows\system32\searchprotocolhost.exe
----- W32i APP ENU 7.0.6001.16503 shp 184,832 05-26-2008
searchprotocolhost.exe

What to do now?
No, this isn't realy about WLM but since the WS came with the beta download
of WLM, this did seem the appropriate forum.
