When using the email option in MS Word

I had this problem once before and I asked this question here and fixed it. I am now running into the same issue on another PC and I can't find my thread.

When using MS Word, there is an email button that allows you to send that document via email without ever opening Outlook. We use Outlook but Word wants to send it via Outlook Express.

I went to the internet options menu in IE and made sure it was set to Outlook. Still sends via OE. I removed (or so I thought) OE via add/remove programs but Word still uses OE as the email client!

I'm thinking there was a registry hack/adjustment that fixed it on the other PC.

Your help would be appreciated again (and this time I'll print it out and save it so I have it in case this comes up again!).
 
I'm guessing XP here? Just out of curiosity what does it say under 'program access and defaults'. You can find this under add/remove programs or on the start menu (hopefully). You should have your default mail client as outlook and a checkbox checked to allow access to it.
