How many times do you click on an email link when browsing a website, only to find that your computer starts trying to open the dreaded Microsoft Outlook, when all you really wanted to use is your Google Apps account?

Well, google apps help is at hand and fortunately it’s rather simple. There are only 2 steps. First, open your Google Apps mail page. Then paste the following code into the address bar. Make sure you change where it says “yourdomain.com” to your real address – i.e. your domain name.

And that’s it! For more information and for instructions on how to do the same using Gmail, see the original Lifehacker article here.
