Unable to send photos using XP email facility in My Pictures

I highlight a file in My Pictures then select Email this folder's files. The
send pictures via email box appears with make all pictures smaller selected
and then a box
opens for Microsoft Exchange Setup. This function used to open Microsoft
Outlook express. I do not have Outlook installed and I have verified that
Outlook Express is my default email program in Internet Options as well as
the Registry. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Your 'mailto:' protocol is wacked.

In My Computer,Tools menu, Folder Options. File Types tab. In list of file
types, click (URL:Mailto Protocol) Click Advanced. In Actions, click Open.
Edit
In "Application used to perform action" enter the program to use to open
files that have this extension, then click OK. In MY case it is:-including
quotes- "C:\PROGRAM FILES\OUTLOOK EXPRESS\MSIMN.EXE" /mailurl:%1

Voting helps others who use the web interface.

Right-click on the Taskbar and choose Properties
Select the "Start Menu" tab
Select the "Start menu" radio button
Click "Customize"
Select "Outlook Express" from the E-mail clients listing.
Click OK, OK

am still getting the Microsoft Exchange setup box. Any additional help will
be greatly appreciated.

mrbobw,

Give "DefaultMail" utility (which I wrote) a go:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/defaultmail.htm

Hopefully it should solve the problem.

Type in Start, Run:

reg export hkcu\software\clients\mail "%userprofile%\desktop\mail1.txt"
Press {ENTER}

Then type:
reg export hklm\software\clients\mail "%userprofile%\desktop\mail2.txt"
Press {ENTER}

Open the files mail1.txt and mail2.txt present in your Desktop. Copy the contents of those files and post here. The specified registry location stores the default mail client configuration.

A potential registry value is missing.

Login as Administrator (or equivalent)

Click Start, Run and type:

regsvr32 "%ProgramFiles%\Outlook Express\msoe.dll"

Press {ENTER}

Now try setting OE as the default using "DefaultMail" tool.
