Wrong default mail program

One of my users has a XP pro machine that insists that outlook Express is the default mail program. In the Internet/program Options, Outlook is selected as the default e-mail program. In Outlook Tools/Options/other, making Outlook the default e-mail program is checked. If I start Outlook Express and look at the options, it says that OE is NOT the default e-mail program. If I go to control panel and click on Mail, Outlook is the only profile.

However, if I click on start/run and type address mailto:*** E-mail is removed from the privacy *, OE turns on.

Any ideas?

That defy all logic.
Try going into control panel of-> Internet Options-> programs (tab)
and select a different element to the e-mail program.  Then press "OK" your way out.
Then go to Internet Options, click on Control Panel and return to Outlook and "OK" your way on.   It is a long shot, but maybe recover.

HTH,
JW

  • How to set yahoo mail as default email program because I can't send an email to the seller to Craigslist?

    We just got a new desktop computer with Windows 7 operating system. I tried to answer the craigslits seller (I use yahoo mail and also downloaded yahoo Messenger) and when I click on the link to answer a small window jumped and said that " ", there is no email associated program to perform the requested action. "Please install e-mail programs or if it is already installed, create an association in the default programs control panel.

    Looking forward for your help!

    OK, I found a solution that is acceptable to me, if all goes well it wll be for other institutions.

    Just download the Yahoo toolbar and make sure to select the 'mail' app, in my version, there were 4 check boxes, the first three have been selected and the fourth, the e-mail option, was not.  I have others unchecked, installed the toolbar and after its closure and reopend IE, the toolbar is active.  I went to default programs start menu by default/programs/set and then chosen yahoo mail as the default mail program.  Then I went back to IE and clicked on the key which is the toolbar settings and disabled.

    Now everything works as before and I do not have the yahoo toolbar clutter my viewable area.

    Good luck!

    How can I reinstall the default mail program?

    Hello Tony,.

    Thanks for posting your concern on the Microsoft Community Forum. First, I would check the e-mail program that you uninstalled. Is - this app (pre-installed in Windows 8/8.1) Mail or Windows Live Mail (can be installed using Windows Essentials)

    If you're referring to Windows Live Mail, you can download the installer from the program by visiting the link below:

    Windows Essentials 2012 (for Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1)

    But if you're referring to Windows Mail App, please create a separate thread on the link below to get help from Windows 8/8.1 moderators:

    Windows 8 support

    Let us know the results later.

    Thank you.

  • 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.

  • Windows Vista - I would use a third-party e-mail software as my default e-mail instead of Microsoft Mail program

    When I transferred my files from my XP system to my Vista system I brought over my Eudora e-mail program. It works fine on the system, but when I run it, I get a dialog box saying "Eudora could not update the system registry. Your default e-mail program was changed. ». Once, click OK, I'm off to the races. How can I get the "Set Default Programs" in the start menu to see my Eudora application so I can put it as my default? Thank you.

    Eudora must be running in administrator mode, otherwise it will not be able to make changes to your system. Right-click on Eudora shortcut in the start menu or on the desktop, where you got it and click "Run as Administrator".

  • 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.

  • I want than gmail for my default e-mail program

    Gmail is my favorite. When I select a file and send, it says I have no default e-mail program.

    This is because Gmail is NOT an email "program.

    Try to download and install the GMail alert system.

    http://email.about.com/od/Gmail/GR/Gmail_Notifier.htm

    • Click the Gmail Notifier icon in the system tray Windows with the right button of the mouse.
    • Select Options from the menu.
    • Make sure that use Gmail for internet mailto: links is checked.
    • Click OK.

    If this does not work then you will need to install a CLIENT such as Mozilla Thunderbird or MS Windows Live Mail email, configure your GMail account and either defined those as your default e-mail client.
