This is an issue to do with the default application of file types.

1. Set the default email application as Outlook.
Go to the Control Panel > Programs> Defualt Programs > Set your default Programs > Select Outlook > Select " Set as Default Program"

2. Set Internet Explorer as the default application as your browser.
Set this in the same screen as above.
3. Set the following reg key -
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.html. Verify that the Default value of this key is htmlfile.Run > "regedit" > navigate to the location in the registry > Modify the registry value to "htmlfile".
You could do this in an elevated CMD prompt as:
REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.htm /ve /d htmlfile /f

1. Restart PC and Login as a
Local Admin.
2. Rename: c:\users\%username%
3. Export (just as a backup in
case you need it) and then delete registry key:
“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList”
(Look through each Profile key
under this reg key and view the “ProfileImagePath” to find which key is related
to which user)
4. Logout and login as the
original user and it will create a new profile for them.
If you do not delete the registry
key it will continually give a “temporary” profile to that user infinitely or
until you rename their c:\users\%username% folder back.
