Chrome is already set as the default browser and Outlook still opens links with IE

  same for me. This is complete bullshit. Chrome is already the default browser on my PC but Microsoft don't give a shit. I'm using Windows 10 Pro. And it's not the only place where Microsoft act like this. When you are on the lock screen, there's a picture with a description. If you click on the description to get more details about the picture, after you typed the password, it open Edge! Microsoft should be sued for that.

Windows 7. Outlook 2010 opens broken images in IE instead of Firefox. I don't want to ever use IE if that's possible.

Windows 10 + Chrome: I envy the ones that figured that out. I had to do dig deep and ended up with a non-pro solution. I disabled the Internet Explorer 11 (under Windows's Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off). Yet, now 'My' Outlook says it needs a program to open '.mht' files when I click on 'open in browser'. Ok, easy. I associate the extention with it. -> Ouch! They say Chrome does not support that so I had to install an extention called IE Tab. After all that I need to click on 'open in browser', then click on 'use Chrome to open .mht -> OK' and then to click on 'IE Tab Icon' to reload the nonsence into an actual web page. LOL to that.
01 I tried to change default browser-> I already have that. Geez, I grew up on Windows since 95
02 I tried to change default program by file type -> Chrome doesn't support .mht and W10 doesn't associate it with it
03 I tried to change default program by protocol -> It is set to Chrome, yet -> 02
04 I tried to change defaults by app -> 02
I bet registry change wouldn't help. I also tried to use firefox but it seems it has the same issue with the .mht files. Other solution is to find an app in Windows Store but I guess none of us wants that.

Worked for me; thanks!

This solution doesn't work in Windows 10.
I solved it opening configuration to set default programs by protocol, and assigning firefox (in my case) to http and https protocols

Same. Doesn't change Outlook 2010 from opening IE. Bad advice.
To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.
As others have stated, this procedure DOESN'T fix the issue of Explorer being the browser that opens from Outlook (for instance, when an email doesn't download properly and I choose 'view it in a web browser') but also messes up all other associations. After following the instructions under 'Changing The Default Program Setting In Your Computer', I had to redo associations for PDFs and for Email / Calendar, as I show in the image.
At first I thought @devilish2o was a little harsh, but I end up agreeing - you should be fired.

This did not work. Outlook (2010) still opens messages in IE.

My default browser is Chrome, but Outlook insists on opening everything in Explorer. Can't stand it. How do I make it stop?

Outlook 2016 does not listen to that! I thought Microsoft was becoming less evil but not the Outlook / Office team I suppose..

All of a sudden if you want to open an Outlook 2016 email in a browser, it only opens in Explorer not default browser--in my case Chrome.

I am using Outlook 2016. My default browser is Google Chrome. But Outlook is using Internet Explorer

Hello,
You're changing the default program for the whole OS/User, I just want a default browser for Outlook only, as the title says.
Your foot note has a different relation with your title.
Note: Through the above two methods, not only the browser in Outlook but in the computer has been modified.
