Windows 8 - default mail client

I use windows 8 pro RTM.  Share in the selection of photos from the file manager, the option to e-mail tab is grayed out.  If I click with the right button on the photo and select send to - recipient of the message I get a message stating...

"There are no associated messaging program to perform the requested action.  Please install... »
I have not changed the default settings.  When you go to Associations of program for a program, the Windows default Mail application is already set and a check is in the MAIL box to.
  1. How can I get this problem so that I can email pictures of the windows file manager by using the send/share feature?
 

I have this problem as well. The only way to use the feature "send to" via File Explorer is to install a different e-mail program outside the application Mail in Windows 8. So, in this case, you need to install Windows Essentials, which includes Windows Live Mail 2012 - OR - Microsoft Office Outlook.

If you want to use the Mail in Windows 8 application to send photos, then use must navigate your photos using the "Photos" App that comes with Windows 8.

1. navigate to the folder that contains your photos you want to share using the Photos App.

2 zoom out to see all the photos or holding the key Ctrl and scrolling the mouse wheel down, by clicking on the "-" sign in the lower right corner of your screen, or pinch the screen when you view the photos in the folder you are browsing.

3 press and hold the CTRL key while holding down the CTRL key, click each photo you want to share with the mouse. Not sure how it would work with key only.

4. Once satisfied with your selection, drag the right or mouse on to the down right of your screen and click / tap share.

5. here, you will be able to choose email to send your photos.

Seems more complicated it is, but to use the Mail application, it's how you do it. Otherwise, the other method is for the moment.

    Original title: loss of entrance of Protocol in the list of saved files

    I use an old Toshiba laptop of two year with Vista as an operating system. It came with a trial version of Microsoft Office already installed. I had no use for it then after the trial expires I uninstalled. This seems to have created a minor problem with the e-mail program. When I visit a Web site and click on 'Contact us' I get an error message as follows "cannot perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed." I suspect strongly as during the uninstallation of office he removed a protocol in the list entry, similarly, the bottom of the list of the saved files. A check with other similar computers with Vista installed seems to confirm this. If someone at - it a quick fix to this problem? I don't want to resort to installing a whole new email software to fix this minor problem if I can avoid it.

    Hello Karena R, yesterday, I downloaded and installed Windows Live Mail, and I must say that I prefer Windows Mail Live Mail program. After making sure that Live Mail is the deafult for all messaging functions and that the entry "Mail Protocol" was now back to the list of saved files, I checked the problem mentioned in my original post. He is not fixed! Another small problem is fixed now if. In my "drafts" mailbox I have some e-mails stored there and when I click on one of them upwards now comes an email with the appropriate address inserted in the address line. Who could not before. I used to get this error message, which is now the new title of my post. So why the difference when I click on email address that I find on Web sites? Now, I also find that by Michael following the instructions (below), I do not see an entry "mailto" but his suggestion to step d. type in "URL Protocol" is not appropriate because it is already there. The installation of an entirely new email software should have my computer all the necessary entries for the new program to function properly in all respects. So what's happening? It begins to look as if uninstalling the program Office has pulled something real Vista operating system.

    It's a good thing, I thought of the research on other boards for my missing post.

  • Cannot perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed... help

    I can't send an e-mail from a link on a page without getting this error... "could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed"...    My windows mail is set as default and I can receive and send him good, please help.

    Thank you

    A program is defined as default does not mean that it has considered all of the default roles available.  In the case of Outlook 2007, there are 13 total default values that can be assigned, and it should have each of them.  It is possible to default Outlook for e-mail, but not the default value for write links in web pages.
