I installed Thunderbird to try it out then uninstalled it from a windows xp machine and now when I try to change the default mailto handler from internet options programs tab, It allows me to change it to "GMail" but the handler doesn't actually change.

I tried using the chrome browser to change the mailto handler to a gmail client but when I click on the mail client in the drop-down list it won't change it defaults back to "(None)"

I have tried the javascript:navigate() "fix" to no avail.

How can I permanently change xp's Default mailto application?

Seeing as how nobody left an answer I chose to go with @Ramhound's suggestion of a restore point. While this worked for me I am still very curious as to what Thunderbird(if it was truly the culprit) did to irreversibly set it self as the default mailto handler.
