Default Mail Program

Hi,I have a problem with MS applications till I upgrade Client Notes from 5.0.12 to 6.5.3 in some PCs (W2000 Platform). We have a MSAccess Application who send an email at the end of a little VB script.

Till I have 5.0.12 Version, the mail was correctly sends by MS Outlook (who is the default email program set on IE); now each time the program try to sends the mail, it opens a Notes Mail Form.

I checked the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry and everywhere the settings is correctly “Microsoft Outlook”; also I checked the “User Preferences” on Notes Client and the flag on “Use Lotus Notes As My Default Email Program” is off.

Also, if I try to send a MSWord document directly, using the “Send to” option, without composing a MSOutlook form, the system opens a Notes Mail Form with my document attached.

I know this is not properly a Lotus problem, but I think that upgrade to 6.5.3 client made some mistakes writing registries.

Any suggestion? Thank you guys!

check your Internet exlplorer -->Extra—>program. Is the mail system MS Outlook? Or Lotus Notes. This could be changed after upgrade of Notes.

Thank you very much Ramin, but I already checked the IE settings, and in the E-Mail section is correctly set “Microsoft Outlook”.I try to change it to Notes, reboot the PC, change again to “Microsoft Outlook” and reboot again the machine too, but nothing changes…
