Windows 8 question "creating associations in default programs"
When I click with the right button on anything and want to send by email, it tells me there is no e-mail program associated with this function, and to create an association in the default programs control panel. When I'm here, it gives me four choices to click on, making no sense at all to me.
Can I have some details on the creation of an association to my Microsoft"live"account, which is the only email I have.
Windows 7 automatgicly whatever it is attached to my outlook, Hotmail or live email which was all the same anyway, I think that
Unlike Vista and WinXP, Win8 nor Win7 includes a default email Client. [App Mail of Win8 is not a Mail Client.]
If you want to MailTo and send to functions work properly, you will need to install an e-mail Client (for example, Windows Live Mail [free];) MS Outlook [non-free]) and then check that it is registered as the default to e-mail in CUSTOM (<>) the section default computer Configure programs.
[Yes, it's very confusing. [What were thinking?]

I recently discovered that when I wanted to install a default media player, Windows Media Player was absent from "Default programs".

However, when I tried this, I found that Windows Media Player was also absent from "Set Program Access and Computer Defaults"! Now, what I want to know is, how to restore Windows Media Player in the list of Set Program Access and Computer Defaults?
Here's a hint: I do not have full access to Windows Media Player via the start menu.

If you use a browser to access your e-mail, it is the question. You can set a default e-mail application if you have an e-mail application and the browser is NOT a messaging software.
Install an e-mail client and it will work, and that's why it worked on XP because you probably had Outlook express installed.

I'm looking for here (or get) help directed to the right forum regarding an error message I got when trying to open a PDF file. The error message indicates "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if such is already installed, create an association in the default programs control panel. "To be quite honest, I don't have the slightest idea as to what to do with respect to this message and I need some advice ASAP. I have the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader installed and if I have to contact them instead about my problem, please let me know.

I can send emails with my Yahoo homepage, but I can't send an email to the address on craigslist that my computer is telling me to create an association for email in the control panel of the default program and I need to know the steps to do this without ruining my computer. I've never used Craigslist before and have never had a problem with my computer functions
Windows 7 and Internet Explorer support not to set a webmail application like e-mail by default but Yahoo has an option that can work for you - I don't use Yahoo email and I have tried the following: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/settings/settings-10.html the other thing you could do is copy the address in the craigslist (dray your mouse to select and press Ctrl + C to copy) and then go on your Yahool email and place the cursor in the address box and paste (using a menu item from Yahoo or using Ctrl + V for paste).
