"send to" link fails

[Guest]

Help..... Whenever I want to send a link to someone via e-mail, I get
redirected to my hotmail account, and then fails to send the link. Why is
this happening? I am using Outlook as my deault mail program.

Make sure Outlook (I take it you're not talking about Outlook Express) is
set as your default email client:

Hi Jon,
Outlook is set as the default mail program ( box is checked). What else can
I try?

The box may be checked, but did you look at File Types and do the
Start...Run command mentioned at that site I referenced? If not, then the
registry may not be correct, despite having said box checked.

I tried the run command thing... had to do a manual find... file type for URL
was internet shortcut, can 't find the : Mailto protocol in the list... i am
lost... any thing else i might try??? PS.. thanks for continuing to help

Go to My Computer, click Tools...Folder Options...File Types tab. Near the
top of the list, under Extensions (NONE) there should be your
URL:MailtoProtocol file type.
