With Win XP and fax option enabled, I can not email a
word doc by the usual method. Sometimes I can save to
desktop, right click and send from there, sometimes not.
I can not find help in the menu. With 98 I did not use
the fax option. Now only the fax option comes up when I
try to email a doc..I need to get the email option back
and I can not find how to do it.
Any help appreciate.
 
I take you to mean how to add email to the 'send to' menu that appears when
you right click a file.

The instructions below work perfectly, and are brought to you fresh from
Windows Help&Support

(available from your local start menu while stocks last).

To add a destination to the Send To menu

1.. Open My Computer
2.. Double-click the drive where Windows is installed (usually drive C,
unless you have more than one drive on your computer).
If you can't see the items on your drive when you open it, under System
Tasks, click Show the contents of this drive.

3.. Double-click the Documents and Settings folder.
4.. Double-click the folder of a specific user.
5.. Double-click the SendTo folder.
The SendTo folder is hidden by default. If it is not visible, on the Tools
menu, click Folder Options. On the View tab, click Show hidden files and
folders.

6.. On the File menu, point to New, and then click Shortcut.
At this point you can browse to your desktop and select the Outlook Express
desktop shortcut, or you can find the .exe file of whatever other, equally
deserving email program you use.
Click 'Finish', and next time you right-click a file, you'll find your email
option awaiting you.
You can add other programs to the list if they make things more convenient
too.
Hope this helps
