PRoblem with default email program
I'm having problems with the default email program.
When I would right-click on a photo and "send to mail recipient", SeaMonkey would come up. Thunderbird was set as my default email program. In Thunderbird I told it to be my default program and to check each time it starts. Under Internet options/programs, Thunderbird was set as the default. I tried resetting these, but SeaMonkey kept coming up. I tried a program called DefaultMail, told it to set the default to Thunderbird, it said "done", but I still had the problem. I uninstalled SeaMonkey but then no program would come up. It would give the window asking if I wanted to reduce the size of the photo file and another little window saying that it was preparing to send the email, but it never would bring up a program. I went through all of the steps above again, but nothing worked. I have XP SP3 with all of the updates. I think this problem started after I updated SeaMonkey. How can I get the default email program set properly? -- Replace you know what by j to email |

http://windowsxp.mvps.org/sendtomail.htm That is the problem I'm having. I tried that suggestion. The command said that it succeeded, but setting the email program to Thunderbird or OE still has the same problem. And I rebooted just to be safe - same problem. -- Replace you know what by j to email |

Try setting it in one more place.. click Start, "Set program access and defaults", click the "Expand" arrows to the right of "Custom", under "Choose a default email program", click the box to the left of "Mozilla Thunderbird" and OK your way out. -- Joe =o) |

PRoblem with default email program
1. Start | Settings | Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Set Program
Access and Defaults | Custom (=important!) | Choose a default email program: Select "Thunderbird" here (not "Use my current..."). Illustration: http://www.winsupersite.com/images/r...p1_beta_03.gif 2. Set Thunderbird as your default for Mail in IE Tools | Internet Options | Programs, too.
