Send link from IE without outlook open ?

Is the only way to send a link is to have Outlook opened?

I don't use outlook, but it seems I need it open in order to send.

When it is closed, and hit send link the mail window opens, but it doesn't
get sent unless I actually open Outlook.

A "link" is nothing other than a text string. Send it however you like.

You made no mention of HOW you were sending a link. If perchance you
are using the "File -> Send -> Send Link by E-mail" menu in Internet
Explorer (rather than just right-click on the link to "Copy shortcut"
and pasting into an e-mail using whatever e-mail client you choose) then
the e-mail program is used is whatever you configured to be the default
one.

Windows version? IE version? OL version?

"Send a link" should open OL or an OL New Message window if OL isn't already
opened.
