I'm trying to help a friend who uses XP. I can't give you the Build version
if that matters. He wants to use the Send to right click menu to send files
to email. If he follows all the submenus, he gets to one requesting an
Outlook profile. He doesn't have Outlook, only Outlook Express. I am
hoping that Outlook is a default assignation and can be changed. He says
that Help gives no guidance. I couldn't find anything in the KB. Can
anyone direct me to a full, written procedure I can forward to him? Thanks.
I'm still back in Win2000 land, have Outlook, and have never used the Send
to for email. Thanks. Rick

Send To Mail Recipient option does nothing (or uses OL in this case..)
