Hi to one-and-all:
I've got a small problem with Windows Mail: When I right click an entry in
the address book and select "send mail" as an action, I get a message that
says "an error occurred while attempting to invoke the default e-mail
program".
As usual, any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Is Windows Mail set as the Default email client?

Tools | Options | General tab
At the bottom, see if it is showing as default.

Also, in Control Panel
Default programs
Set your default programs
Windows Mail

then there is also in the same Default Programs
Set program access and computer defaults
Select Custom


I don't know if the /reg command line will work or not so I'll leave it as
the above.
 
Thank you very much for the reply. It worked like a charm. I haven't looked
at the rating thing, but it's pretty hard to beat something that works like
it is supposed to with such an easy fix. Top marks Mr./Ms. DGuess.--
