You might try seeing what shell is associated with the "mailto"
protocol. Look in the default value of the key:

HKCR\mailto\shell\open\command

and see if the string "Outlook" is present. This isn't an iron clad
way of doing it, but it might be "good enough" for your purposes.

What is the test to see whether this line will open Outlook 2007 or
the Outlook 2007 Startup Wizard?

CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

Registry key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT
\CurrentVersion\Windows\Messaging Subsystem\Profiles' has entries, but
the current user does not have an account configured in Outlook.

One thing that may help is that prior to this line, network
connectivity is confirmed - can I "ping" Exchange or something like
that?

Thanks!
