I have exactly the same problem with Outlook 2007 as well. It's driving me nuts!
I have exactly the same problem with Outlook 2007 as well. It's driving me nuts!
I'm also using Outlook 2007 on my Windows 7, 8 and 10 machines. I've gone to the same entry (Default Programs) in the Control Panel and am able to change between Internet Explorer and Chrome easily, except in Windows 10 I can change between Chrome and Edge, but not Internet Explorer, It just comes up with the popup.
This thread is a couple of months old, but I don't see the problem was solved. Here is the solution:

Thanks for that link. However, the fix they provide does not work with Windows 10!!
In my case, I have selected Firefox as my preferred browser. However, if I click on ANY hyperlink, it asks me if I want to use Firefox, or another browser. Again, if I tick the "Always use this" box, it still does the same thing next time.
Hi,
Thanks for quick response.
Yes, I have Firefox set up as default browser, and checked through Control Panel.
However, I did not state clearly the problem - sorry!
In fact, it's the links I click on while in Microsoft Outlook 2016 that pop up the annoying question. It highlights Firefox, but still asks if I want to use this program.
So this is probably better addressed to an Outlook forum!
If you go to Settings > System > Default Apps, down at the bottom there is a Choose default Apps by file type, and Choose default Apps by protocol. Have a look in there.
KB3094186 resolved the issue for me, on Windows 10 & Outlook 2007.
