Using Windows 10 1703, it seems to be impossible to persistantly use a combination of IE11 and Outlook 2010.
Even if both applications are set as default, if you click an HTTP link in an Outlook email, the user is asked to choose a browser. Even if the user chooses to permanently save the setting, the dialog comes up again.
Solution
Create a registry entry:
1 |
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\opennew |
If key “shell” does not exist, create it. Do the same for key “opennew”.
Then edit the “Default” value for key “opennew”:
1 |
rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler %1 |
Also make sure you set the associations via the “old” way, Control Panel -> Default Associations, not via the “modern” menu.
