How do you get the e-mail links to use outlook instead of the windows mail app?

I have Outlook (part of office 365) and Windows 8 - but when I click on any 'email' link it uses windows Messaging. In older versions, it would bring the outlook dialog.  Is it possible to change this?

Because you have Outlook, I suppose you want to do all the stuff "e-mail associated" with Outlook.  If so:

  • Go to the start screen
  • Start typing "Default programs" without the quotes
  • Select "Default programs" when it comes to the top
  • Select "Set your default programs"
  • Search for "Outlook (office computer)" in the list on the left
  • Select "Set this program as default"

If for some reason the last step does not work, you can try to replace this step with these:

  • Select "Choose default program"
  • Place a check next to "MAILTO URL: mailto" and save it

  • How do you get the windows caption to display

    I don't know how I can expand on that.

    I want just the legend of Windows to display as it did on older versions.

    Thank you

    I think you want, what is now called the "title bar". It displays at the top of the window and displays the title of the current page (the full version of what appears on the tab of the page).

    If it seems that this could be the right thing, you can activate the title bar and turns off using the personalization feature. See:

  • How do you get the Windows Image Acquisition (stisvc) service to restart?

    HP Pavilion DV6-2088dx running Win 7.0 64 Bit Ultimate

    When I try to restart the Windows Image Acquisition Service I get a message access denied (Services tab in the Task Manager) or an "error 1068: the dependency service or group could start" (in the Services window).

    Hello

    One thing to check is the following.

    Open windows control panel, open administrative tools, and then open Services.  Make sure that the following services (order of th specified below check them) are all showing that status = started and the Startup Type = Automatic

    Remote procedure call (RPC)

    Detection material core

    Windows Image Acquisition

    If you need to make a change to one of the above, just right-click the service and select Properties, and then in the drop-down list box next to "Startup Type", select automatic and click on apply to save the changes.  Then click on the Start button.

    Kind regards

  • When you click on "don't show this again option" in "Firefox prevented this page to open in a new window or tab," How do you get the window of options again?

    I clicked by mistake on the choice of "don't show this again option" in the "Firefox prevented this page open in a new window or tab", and now I can't understand how "uncheck" the box and back again once the window options.

    My bad - it was the pop up Adblock Plus 0.7 Addon.

    "I went just the Firefox button orange > Modules > Adblock Plus pop-up Addon 0.7 - > Options > my site rules > the site right click > edit > checked 'Block all pop-up windows' and unchecked" this rule applies to: 'New Windows' and 'new tab '.

    Presto! Firefox works as before.

    I didn't know I had controls within the addon that would affect the Firefox popup blocks the action.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/926374

    You cannot configure Windows Mail to use an e-mail account on the Web (HTTP) on a computer that is running Windows Vista

    Read the above.

    You can use Windows Live Mail.

    Use Windows Live Mail instead of Windows Mail

    Windows Live Mail is an e-mail program that you install on your computer. Windows Live Mail stores messages on your computer. This means that you can access, read, and compose e-mail messages even if you are not connected to the Internet.

    Windows Live Mail works with popular Web-based e-mail services such as Hotmail, AOL mail, Google mail, and Yahoo! mail. Windows Live Mail is designed to configure automatically many popular e-mail services.
