Making Outlook a default program

When you are using multiple email programs on the same, sometimes there comes the need to have a default email program every time you need to send email, for contacts and calendars. Now you can ensure that MS Office Outlook is used when you send e-mail messages from any non-mail program.

When MS Outlook is not your default e-mail program, then you might come across following situations:

  • If you try to send a spreadsheet to a mail recipient from Microsoft Office Excel that is on a computer that has Office Outlook and Outlook Express installed, Office Outlook might not be used to send the e-mail message.

  • If you click a link on a Web page that is intended to open a new message window, your computer might not open the Outlook new e-mail message window, or it might use a mail program other than Outlook.

  • When you send a file from a program by pointing to Send To on the File menu, and then clicking Mail Recipient, the email program that is set as your default mail client is used to send the file.

But not to worry you can make Outlook your default email program and for that you need to perform the following steps:

  • On the Tools menu in Office Outlook, click Options, and then click the Other tab.

  • Under General, select the Make Outlook the default program for E-mail, Contacts, and Calendar check box.
