Downloaded Opera, now cannot set mailto to MS Outlook

[rlee123]

Hi,

Thanks in advance for your help! Previously, when I clicked on a "mailto" link in my web-based Gmail (mail.google.com), the new email composition box would pop up in MS Outlook 2010. That is my preference.

However, I downloaded the Opera browser today and I undated Chrome to Version 51.0.2704.106 m, and somewhere along the line, doing these updates changed some of my defaults. I have used Control Panel to change my defaults back to MS Outlook, but it didn't work. When I click on a "mailto" link in Chrome Gmail, a mail.google.com composition box pops up instead of MS Outlook.

When I go to chrome://settings/handlers, I see "Active protocol handlers," "mailto," "(none)." My only two choices are "(none)" and "mail.google.com."

Any help appreciated to restore MS Outlook as my "mailto" default. Thanks again.
