Outlook Express does not run when trying to send photo to "Mail Recipient"

[Debbie Labarthe]

I select a photo in Windows Explorer. From this location I click on "Send
to" and then click on "Mail Recipient". I used to get Outlook Express to
run but now I get an error message from Outlook which states:

"Either there is no default mail client or the current client cannot fulfill
the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the
default mail client".

Outlook Express in my default mail client. It shows that way in Outlook
Express and in Internet Explorer under tools/programs. I have tried to
change this to another program. After doing so and then running Outlook
Express, Outlook Express tells me it is not the default mail handler and
asks if I want to make it the default. I indicate yes. Then I have
reviewed the settings in both Outlook Express and Internet Explorer and they
are correct.

When I try to repeat the process of "Send to" as I stated above, I get the
same results.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and how to correct it.

The function works correctly with Outlook, not Outlook express.
You can "attach a file(picture in this case) to an email using Outlook
Express.

Try typing in Start Run

msimn /reg

then try to set it as default again.
