Actually, open Internet Explorer, Tools, Internet Options, Programs tab, choose the correct default mail client.
 
guys, the above method:

internet explorer > tools > options > programs and choosing outlook express does not work, because it is not listed in the drop down box... is it possibly something that is configured by the registry??

Thanks for replying,

Luke
 
Try this command in the Run dialog, then check your internet options. Note - the quotes are required.

"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\MSIMN.EXE" /REG
