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

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

Thanks so much for your quick response. I performed these steps however, I

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.
