Any File\Send To\Mail Reciepient feature doesn't work

[gobanion]

I have WinXP w/Outlook 2003. When I right click a file and choose Send
To\Mail Recipient, the feature does not work. I have got it to work
one time by going to Control Panels\Add Remove Programs\Set Program
Access and Defaults. There I select Microsoft Windows, (instead of
Custom), restart the computer and I can then send to mail recipient,
but only one time. After that I get the Error message, Microsoft
Office Outlook, The operation failed. This feature works when I
select Outlook Express as my default Email client in Internet
options. Please can someone help! Thanks in advance. Gregg

Is Outlook open when you try this?

Hi, Milly, I tried this with Outlook open after your question (Is Outlook
open when you try this?) and it worked multiple times. Then I closed Outlook
and tried it and got the same error (Microsoft Office Outlook, The operation
failed). I then reopened Outlook and tried the Send to Mail Recipient
feature several times with several files and just kept getting the error
until I restart, and open Outlook before I use the Send To feature. It seems
once I get the error I have to restart to reset it. Any more advice? Thanks
Gregg
