I'm using IE 6.0 and Outlook Express 6 under Windows XP. When I'm viewing a
web page and I try to "Send" (from the file menu) the current page via email,
nothing happens. On another system using Windows ME, when i try to send a web
page, the Outlook Express mail program pops up a new email with the web page
and all I need to do is insert the email recipient. Under Windows XP,
however, this doesn't happen.

Any suggestions on how to send an email web page via email?

Click to expand...

From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/defaultl.htm

Go to Start | Run and type this command, with the double quotes and spaces:

"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /reg

and then make sure that OE is selected as the default mail program in both
IE and OE.

If that isn't enough, see this article:

You might also want to try this:

To set Outlook as the default mail client,- Go to Start, Run - Type in the
following with quotation marks and press OK
"C:\program files\microsoft office\office\outlook.exe" /checkclient
