Vista - Start Menu Email Program help...

Start Menu Email Program help...

I installed Office 2007 and was using Outlook 2007 happily via the set Email
Program option at the top left of the start menu. I have now installed
Frontpage 2003 and thanks to the SP2 download for Office 2003 the email link
now tries to open Outlook 2003 which ain't installed instead of Outlook 2007
and I can find no way to change this.

Do I need to reinstall Office 2007 or is there way to undo this in the
registry, I have looked in the registry but can't seem to find anything
obvious.

Any help appreciated..

RE: Start Menu Email Program help...

I have no idea if this will help but try opening Office 2007 Outlook. I think
it will reconfigure itself to be the default for that program. I'm not sure
but I did have Office XP, Office 2003 and 2007 installed on one PC and
everytime I went into one program such as Word 2003, then tried to use Word
2007 it would reconfigure itself. If it does reconfigure itself but doesn't
change the shortcut, maybe you can right click on the start menu and click
properties. Click the start menu tab then properties. Click customize and see
if 2007 is in the drop down for e-mail. Worth a try.

Unfortunately it didn't help. I have removed Frontpage 2003 and reinstalled
it back on my Win XP build, I will use it there since it is causing these
issues, why the service pack would think Outlook 2003 was installed I'll
never know.
