Hi, Frank - and this is for GISTCHECKIN as well, who has been very helpful (I
didn't want to post the same reply twice :-) )...

Well, on a hunch, I completely uninstalled and reinstalled MS OFFICE 2007,
which, of course, includes Outlook. Outlook is fine and it's NOT the problem
here. I am really thinking now that my IE 7 is corrupted, and THAT's what
needs to be repaired.

STILL getting the "default client not configured..." message when clicking
an email link in the browser. Also, STILL getting "Windows cannot find the a
path....appropriate permissions" error message on my temp internet files
folder when I download a program and select RUN vs. SAVE.

SO...short of installing a fresh copy of Windows XP, which, if it comes down
to that, I have SO much on my PC that I will live with copy/pasting the email
addresses and saving vs. running downloads, any good way to repair a corrupt
IE 7.0 without losing anything?

Thanks!!

Andy
