Cannot change the default e-mail program

I tried to change the default email program in Vista to Thunderbird by following the instructions found on many sites (Control Panel, programs by default, set your default programs, and then I select Thunderbird, then I click on "set this program as default").

However, when I try to send a document as an attachment directly from the application in question (Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Word, etc.), I get an error message that says: "no profiles have been created.  To create a new profile, use the Mail icon in Control Panel.  I believe that used to work at some point, although I did have this computer for a long time, so maybe it's that he has never worked on this computer.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

It is usually the case with an update of Office, it will reset Outlook as the e-mail Manager by default and assign it all by default available values.  You will need to return to "default programs |" Set your default programs and reset Thunderbird as default and there all available default values assigned.  It is usually a good idea to set Thunderbird as default under "default programs |" The value of program access computer settings by default and after finishing upward on the tab "Set your default programs" by Ramesh was mailed. Please do not forget that * every * Office Update, you receive will probably reset Outlook as Manager default e-mail, and you will need to repeat this process whenever they do.

  • Setup Eudora as the default e-mail program

    Hello

    Operating system: Win7

    I have always (for the right reasons) sue Eudora as my main e-mail client.  Whenever I installed a Windows Update, Windows set Outlook as my client, but it has been noticed by Eudora which, early on, was told that he was no longer the default client.  I could easily change that by starting Eudora as an administrator and then clicking on the option to make it my default e-mail client.

    BUT from the windows of the last updated, it no longer works and Eudora told me that it was impossible to change the registry (even when starting as an administrator).

    I tried to restore Eudora as the default e-mail program by going to wut Start\Default program that eudora does not appear here and I can't change the (set on Outlook) to Eudora MAPI option because this option is greyed out...

    How can I restore Eudora as my default mail (mainly for the mailto protocol) client?

    I found myself a solution that may be useful to other people faced with the same or similar problems.

    1 each (major) Windows Update and for reasons known only to Microsoft, registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\mailto\shell\open\command key has been changed and gives the order to outlook... (even if it was for Eudora before the update).

    2 Eudora could not change this key (and restore the command again to Eudora.exe) even when run as administrator because this key is protected...  (I noticed that I couldn't change the key manually).

    3. However, when I gave permission to administrators to modify this key and restarted the computer, Eudora (run as root) could change the key which now reads: C:\PROGRA~2\Qualcomm\Eudora\Eudora.exe/m %1, which is what to do...

    So, problem solved, but why Microsoft protected this key during one if its last update remains a mystery.

  • Cannot change the default program for opening .dll

    For some reason any, since I first linked the default program to open files .dll with Visual C++ 2010 Express (which is not truly attempt open, but instead of it gave me a message somewhere near the lines of "File not supported - Type does not open", incidentally) by chance I could not change since. I took a screenshot of the dialog box to try to change (URL below after all), but I noticed that the box was grayed out (the theme I have is a modified version of the classic Windows theme, but on 7, to clarify the operating system). I also tried to select a file after having hit the "Browse" button, but it didn't open anything. I tried several programs in the present to open, much less to change the default value (these are two notable examples): Netbeans - primarily an IDE for Java, but can open binary files even if she's not actually modify them (note: I changed absolutely nothing on any of them even if I has modified it to make it the default program but this problem affects more than just the ones) (, and it did not start until the last default) and Notepad. I went through the 'Open with' dialog box, and this is where I first encountered the problem of it (described above) outside the Control Panel, which it wouldn't let me change the association of file of it in particular, even if I didn't have one of these questions with any other type of file I tried to change, before or after this madness.

  • Cannot change the default installation directory (missing ProgramFilesDir)

    I'm changing the default installation on my computer directory.  I looked at the number of threads here that cover the topic.  I go to regedit and follow this path: 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion' but I can't find the value 'ProgramFilesDir.' "  It's on Windows 7, 64-bit.

    Your much more course using the option 'tailor-made' for each program you want to install. Most of the applications have this option. Change the system variable or the registry entry can cause other issues, you may not like.

  • No HDMI Audio, could not play the test tone, cannot change the default playback device

    Hello, I have real trouble with my HP Pavilion dv6-2160us experience (with the i3 - 330 M, no dedicated graphics card) Windows 7-64 bit, SP1 PC and I would be happy to help.

    I created a new thread because, despite the fact that many other people have experienced a problem similar to this and have posted what has worked for them, nothing has worked for me.

    The problem (s):

    My main problem is that I can not any audio to play from my PC to my HDTV HDMI.

    When I plug my HDMI cable on my PC and the TV, the TV is recognized in the playback devices, but nothing he can play.

    When I try to test the TV in playback devices, I get an error "could not play the test tone.

    In addition, I want to mention a few other odd behavior that I think can be a part of the main problem.

    In playback devices, I can't change anything. I can't disable or enable a device, I can not set as default playback or communication devices, and I can't save changes to the properties of the device. Whenever I try to change something, as the default playback device, nothing happens, or the changes are immediately reversed.

    The Question:

    How can I get audio to play through HDMI on my PC (is not a problem with the TV, my other machines HP audio playback over HDMI it is fine)?

    What I tried:

    I tried:

    • Change the default playback devices, which I am unable to do
    • The utilities of reading Audio de Windows 7 running in a clean boot state
    • Uninstall and reinstall the driver Intel(r) Audio display
    • Uninstallation and reinstallation of the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
    • Uninstall the IDT Audio PC program under programs and features
    • Disable the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC

    Nothing has worked.

    The drivers I have are the latest issued by HP

    How can I get this to work? I would appreciate help.

    I'm at the point where I'm willing to try solutions quite technically involved, so feel free to post those.

    Your expertise is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    OK, I finally have the answer for that.

    If you experience this problem even and you want to fix it, you'll need a PC running the same version of Windows 7 that your PC works lot of work but it works without problems, with regard to this point.

    Here's what I did to solve the problem:

    1. Create a system restore point.
    2. Run regedit.exe as administrator.
    3. Go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MMDevices \Audio .
    4. Compare the permissions and attributes of ownership of this key and all subkeys to your work PC.
    5. Change all permissions and property attributes for interest on the defective PC keys as they are the same as those on the operation of the PC.
    6. Restart your faulty computer.

    I hope this helps. It worked for me.

When I right click on 'Helmet of Communication' and select "Set as default device" nothing happens. Not at all. They are defined as my default communication device already, who does not even make sense, since I was on my microphone internal.

  • Cannot manually change the default e-mail reader more.

    I'm want to use Kiwi to Gmail as my default e-mail client. And to do this, I have to use Messaging to change default e-mail reader. Well, when I select the reader to e-mail by default from the inside of the Mall, it won't keep the settings. It simply returns to its previous settings. I open Thunderbird or Outlook, and they have set for the default client. And settings from one session to another. But the General control panel inside the Mail will not work. I can't even to prevent the "Mail" more as a client by default. Simply, it will switch to Outlook or Thunderbird.

    Normally, I think that it was a problem with permissions. But I don't see a way to check the permissions in El Capitan.

    I had to put the connected to the account of "Allow user to administer this computer" in users and groups then went to Mail and set default Outlook.  After the e-mail saved the default and then I removed the checkbox "Allow user to administer this computer" (two reboots) but saved the day when administrator.  Seems there should be an easier way, but it worked for me...

  • Cannot change the default program to open certain types of files more

    I opened the month .package file type by using a specific .exe designed to cope.  I got this morning and by clicking on a .package file brought to the top of the screen "choose default program".  I chose the appropriate program, but it does not appear in the screen of the recommended program, and I can't find any way to make it use the default .exe.   I tried to change it in the area of selection of the programs in the the control panel by default and hot at the same result.  I can still open the files by starting the program manually and choosing the option 'Open', but it is a tedious and repetitive task!  This program is used to group graphic files in a specific format, and it is not uncommon to open and close files .package 5 6 times in a period of 10 minutes.  I really need to fix this ASAP.  My productivity has come to a near standstill.

    I'm on Win7 64-bit, the program in question is a stand-alone that has always been in its own folder in the downloads library.  I tried to move to the folder program files (x 86), but that did not help.  Windows recognizes the program when I make the request to select the default program.  When I try to use it however, it is not an option.

    I was going to link to the Microsoft Developer Network instructions, but it's a pretty large amount of information for it, so, let me suggest a small program that should be able to do it for you.
