File "Send-to" uses the wrong eMailer.
Colin,
Take a look at the Tools-General tab on Outlook Express. The only "Make Default" option offered is "This application is the default Mail handler", under the "Default Messaging Programs" -- and would normally apply if Outlook Express was not already the default program. This option doesn't have anything to do with messaging -- it's just under a Default Messaging Programs heading -- take a look. Skip down to Cher's suggestion and read my posts there, particularly the 2nd post. -- Ron "Colin Barnhorst" wrote: What has messenging to do with emailing? You want to reset the default e-mail program, not messenger. -- Colin Barnhorst [MVP Windows - Virtual Machine] (Reply to the group only unless otherwise requested) "Ron Smith" wrote in message ... MAP, Nope, already been there. The "Make Default" option under "Default Messaging Programs" is grayed out -- can't click on it. -- Ron "MAP" wrote: "Ron Smith" wrote: When using the "Send-to" to "Mail Recipient", in Windows Explorer, the wrong emailer comes up. Mozilla comes up (yeah, my son go ahold of my computer over Christmas) instead of Outlook Express. I want Outlook Express -- how do I make it the default mailer for this operation. -- Ron Smith Open Outlook express and click on the "tools" button at the top,on the drop down menu select "options" on the general tab that comes up click on the "make default" button.This will make O/E your default e/m handler and as such the send to will go to O/E. :-) |

File "Send-to" uses the wrong eMailer.
Colin,
Yes, thanks -- sorry -- the error was a typo in my post, not in the command -- I was running the command correctly -- and it still didn't work. See post immediately above your post. -- Ron "Colin Barnhorst" wrote: You have \ instead of / at the end of the line just before 'reg' -- Colin Barnhorst [MVP Windows - Virtual Machine] (Reply to the group only unless otherwise requested) "Ron Smith" wrote in message ... Frank, You may have the best option -- but I can't get the "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" option to work. If I Run it without the "\reg", it will bring up Outlook Express, if it is not already up. However, adding the "\reg" options resluts in nothing happening -- nothing -- the Run pop-up just goes away. Additionally, I now have another problem, as the "Send-to" option is not even working now -- after trying the suggestion offered by Cher above -- so now I have two problems. -- Ron "Frank Saunders, MS-MVP" wrote: "Ron Smith" wrote in message When using the "Send-to" to "Mail Recipient", in Windows Explorer, the wrong emailer comes up. Mozilla comes up (yeah, my son go ahold of my computer over Christmas) instead of Outlook Express. I want Outlook Express -- how do I make it the default mailer for this operation. From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/defaultl.htm Go to Start | Run and type this command, with the double quotes and spaces: "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /reg and then make sure that OE is selected as the default mail program in both IE and OE. If that isn't enough, see this article: "Send To" and E-mail Links Do Not Work Using Outlook Express as Default: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306098 You might also want to try this: Restores OE to the E-mail clients list in Internet Options http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/oe_client.htm To set Outlook as the default mail client,- Go to Start, Run - Type in the following with quotation marks and press OK "C:\program files\microsoft office\office\outlook.exe" /checkclient For more information on Outlook see: http://www.slipstick.com/config/defaultmailer.htm -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP, IE/OE Please respond in Newsgroup only.

File "Send-to" uses the wrong eMailer.
Ramesh,
Thanks -- your referenced article looks like it directly addresses the problem I am having. However, if you see my 2 posts (particularly the 2nd post) under Cher's post/suggestion, you will see that the problem is now gone -- don't know why, but the Outlook Express e-mailer is now coming up when I use the "Send-to" file option. I am now a little reluctant to go messing around with it since it is now working -- so I will save the article/solution you referenced for future use. Thanks again for all the help. -- Ron "Ramesh, MS-MVP" wrote: Ron, 1. Download DefaultMail from he http://windowsxp.mvps.org/defaultmail.htm 2. Unzip and run it 3. Click the button named "Clear per-user settings and Enforce global settings (defaults)" -- Ramesh, Microsoft MVP Windows XP Shell/User http://windowsxp.mvps.org "Ron Smith" wrote in message ... Colin, Thanks, but nope, that doesn't do it -- it is already set to Outlook Express -- and Mozilla isn't even an option. I think this is for the Email program selected when you are in the Internet Explorer and click on the Mail icon and then select Read Mail, Send Message, etc. -- this brings up Outlook Express correctly. The only problem I am having is with the "Send-to" option on files under Windows Explorer, which brings up the Mozilla mailer.

You would probably have to restart the browser to see the results.
