Outlook '07 keep asking to choose browser in links on Windows 10

[JerseyBiker]

I just installed Windows 10 Pro. on my desktop and Windows 10 Home on my laptop. On both I have the default browser set to Internet Explorer. I'm using IE instead of Edge because I need the use of some add-ons that cannot work on Edge. My issue is that on both computers every time I click an email link in Outlook 2007 I get the message in the screenshot below. When I click a link a pop up message ask "How do you want to open this". There is also a check box that says "always use this app". Even though I always check the box to always use IE, the message comes up every time. If I set Edge as the default browser I do not get that message. Anyone know of a solution for this? Thank you very much.

I also have Windows 10 Pro and getting exactly the same. It was a clean install. Grateful for any help.

Hmm, suspicious.
I find it strange that if I set it to automatically open in Microsoft Edge, it works every time no problem.
Is this then, Microsoft then trying to force us into using Edge??

There is a work-around type of fix in the following post:

It does involve making changes to the Registry.

I used the second version of the suggested Registry change and it worked fine for Outlook 2007 running on Windows 10.

Thank you for the reply.
Is that the one which opens a 2nd window?

Karl Timmerman's suggestion worked perfectly for me. Thank you.
