I would like to add that I went thru all your suggestions and checked the registry also, and everything is set correctly. I did not have any questions about the ole article. Still no luck.

Ok, I check this and it is set as the default. I do not have Outlook only OEv.6.
An interesting side note. I have had FF2.x and TBx as default in the past and also had inter changed them, that is I had FF and TB running and no problems. This problem has been around for awhile like 2004 or 5. I just tried to live with it. Also, I found in the registry under current user that TB was the default client on my username. Could this be the problem? I know that the article states local machine, but it might be a registry problem like that. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Clients\Mail

Also, HKEY_USERS\jdj\Software\Clients\Mail is set with TB as the default. So those two keys are set with TB as default mail client. And HKEY_CURRENT USER same location. But the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Clients\Mail is set with OE as the default. Sorry for the messed up post here.

Yes, on occasion I do use these programs FF and TB. I believe this problem started before that installation.
I never had a problem interchanging these vendors. The link problem has been around for sometime now. I have done Gary's [clean boot] process. I have repaired\reinstalled IEv.6. I have checked most of these registry items manually, that is visually without altering anything in the registry and that would be the only "questionable points" I have found so far, there may be others I don't know of.
