Send to email recipient.......

[MJG]

At work (Win 2000, Office 2000) right clicking on a file in explorer.
brings up the menu with the option "Send to email recipient".

Selecting this opens a new message window in Outlook (NOT Outlook
Express) with the file attached and a brief message already inserted
in the new message window.



At home (XP home SP2, Office XP) right clicking on a file in explorer
brings up the same menu but selecting "Send to email recipient"
attempts to start Outlook Express. (I currently have no accounts set
up in Outlook Express so it starts the new account wizard)

I have checked that Outlook (Not Outlook Express) is set as my default
email client and it is.

Please advise how do I ensure right clicking on a file on my home PC
behaves in the same way as my work PC and starts Outlook NOT Outlook
Express......

Many thanks.

Try changing the default mail handler in Control Panel->Internet
Options->Programs tab to the other program and then back again. It seems to
work for some.

Also, try using the Set Programs Access and Default as well.
