Problem: Unable to open links in Outlook or Outlook Express after uninstalling Google Chrome.

Cause: Upon installing Chrome, it over writes some of the registry files used for deciding what to use to open links sent in email. It overwrites the default "htmlfile" registry entries and changes them to "Chrome HTML" or "Google Chrome HTML".

Solution: Download the attached file and open it. Extract the .REG file to your hard disk and double click it. Answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad. Each of the REG files contains the default settings for the file extension indicated. *From http://www.dougknox.com

NOTE: If your EXE file associations are corrupted, it can be difficult to open REGEDIT, or to even import REG files. To work around this, press CTRL-ALT-DEL and open Task Manager. Once there, click File, then hold down the CTRL key and click New Task (Run). This will open a Command Prompt window. Enter REGEDIT.EXE and press Enter.
