"R. H. Breener" wrote in message ... You should have it installed and able to open WM in less than five minutes Actually it takes 60 seconds to do it. You have spent hours and hours on this massive thread, when if you had the right info in the first place WM can be reactivated on your computer in less than 60 seconds, I only said five minutes to give leeway for reading time. How can that be when I have no choice of "Run as Administrator" when I right click on the command prompt? That choice is not there. All I can choose is: Mark Copy Paste Select Scroll and Find. That's funny, and No! I'm not making fun of you in any way, I've just never seen anybody interpret it that way. You sir actually clicked on the gui of the command prompt, and that's not what it meant at all. How do I get "Run as Administrator" to show up in the right-click dropdown window for the command prompt? As mentioned when you go to # 3 on that local tutorial: ReWinMail_tutorial.html When it says to right click on it.... ~Start Menu All Programs Accessories ~Right click on that Command Prompt 'shortcut itself' that you see there in the Accessories menu! and then when you click Run As Admin then it opens up the command prompt window, and then you continue with #4 on that tutorial, and btw, that's where you can do what you did posted above to right click the gui and there then yes you can use 'Paste' to put in the next line: cd%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\TutReWinMail\ (where here of course you needed to have saved the Win74umsZip.zip place to your Downloads folder in the first place.) But follow that tutorial. Anyway, seriously, 60 seconds flat to get WinMail to start up if you have read and follow the instructions correctly. Yes I think the tutorial may be over worded which can get confusing, but I think when techs try to say things in detailed ways to be able to reach the most people, things get overworded and then becomes almost confusing, but in hindsight once you do it, you will see.... 60 seconds to open WinMail Any problems, ask your question over there Really, you should ask these questions over there since you have so many people that actually use and have it installed and working there. good luck |

"R. H. Breener" wrote in message ... You should have it installed and able to open WM in less than five minutes Never mind. I have to move everything over to the Administrator-Administrator account if I ever need to enable WM again. ? huh, You don't have to do anything like that of the sort. I don't know what else you have installed or done to your setup to alter it for you to say that, and I'm not going to read all the posts here to see all these different things and programs you 'may' have installed on all these threads, but the title of your original post you simply wanted to install Win Mail (which as you know is the updated version of Outlook Express on Windows7, it's already there on Windows 7, and for that matter it's on Windows 8 too!) ....and if you had the information in hand that you do now, you R.H., literally, could of had Win Mail setup on your Windows 7 within minutes, period! Post over on that forum there if you have any issues or questions, this thread is multifaceted on many other subjects, and is getting confusing to try and follow the original thought here anymore. |

"R. H. Breener" wrote in message ... OK! I'll save all that information in case I need it and wont run file checker on W7. There's no need to save that SFC information. There is a mistake in that tutorial and that old problem with SFC was already fixed back in 2009, the person who wrote the new automated tutorial just didn't realize it when he wrote it is all. The registry line that get's automatically entered when the WinMailEdit.reg get's applied in the process makes that old SFC problem non-existent This is from the site: Complete the instructions in the local tutorial. Overview of the steps in the local tutorial: Open an elevated Command Prompt In the elevated Command Prompt, change directory to your user Downloads\TutReWinMail Launch one batch file (64 -OR- 32) to automatically process the majority of the steps Create a shortcut Restart your machine That's pretty much all there is to it That's is absolutely correct, it's easy, although a lot of work went into it, and so when you run the batch a lot of information is automatically taken care of to make the whole process work. The only issue I may run into is getting the elevated command prompt in W7. There is no issue here at all, of which I answered in your other post I don't know what kind of account to set up in W7 where I can do things and There's no 'account' to set up to get choices others have? get choices others here have, choices that don't show up in my version of W7 or with the accounts I have set up on W7. Irregardless of what version of Windows7 you have it will work, no special Administrator account or whatever to setup at all, just follow the tutorial as mentioned. |

"Dave-UK" wrote in message b.com... You right-click the shortcut to run as administrator - not the opened command prompt box. That's right Dave. |

"WinMail" wrote in message ... "Chris S." wrote in message ... VERY nice! Thanks for the link. I had zero problems porting WinMail from Vista to Win 7, several times! Great Chris, nice job. It was easy to do wasn't it! Your link may even allow The Breener to get it running! Well if that 70 yr grandmother (grits) over there can do it then anyone can. Chris I meant to say that I had done it manually several times in the past, but appreciated the ease with the supplied link info. Chris |
