Re: Default Mail client in Windows keeps getting changed back to Microsoft Outlook

Are you going into Outlook for anything else? I've seen outlook
frequently and silently set itself back as the default if you go into it
for anything. There is a very buried setting that stops it. Just can't
remember the long path right now.

I have been using Windows Live Mail for a while now.

Occasionally, I have noticed (usually while sending a reply to one of the
Midrange lists from within the built-in newsreader in the Live Mail client)
that Microsoft Outlook would be loaded for my email reply /instead/ of
Windows Live Mail.

The last time this happened was a couple of weeks ago.

I noticed this morning that a Microsoft update was applied to my computer
last night, and it rebooted.

Today, my default mail client (As viewed by opening IE, then
Tools ->Internet Options -> Programs) was changed back once again to
Outlook, so now I'm thinking that Microsoft update is doing this behind the
scenes.

So, I just changed it back to Microsoft Live Mail once again...

Has anyone else experienced such a problem?
