Attachment woes

[Guest]

Using XP Pro - go to start, programs, accessories, entertainment, sound
recorder. I have used this sound recorder to record a message that I wish to
email to a few people. After recording the message, I save it to me desktop.
I then go to my email account and attach the file that I have saved to my
desktop. The problem seems to be that what I am attaching is actually the
address to my desktop and not the actual recording I am trying to send. In
other words, what I am sending directs to "C:\Documents and
Settings\David\Desktop". Anyway, I would really like to solve this problem
and send the recording that I have been trying to do. All help appreciated.
Thank you.

Try saving the message to the 'my documents' folder and attaching it
from "C:\Documents and Settings\David\My Documents\<filename>. See if
that works.

I duplicated your method, and had no problem. Be sure that you save the
file as a .WAV, then attach that to mail.

Bear in mind that those files can be very large, and it's possible that
there are being stripped out before reaching the recipient.

Using that method you are sending the shortcut, not the actual file. Either
go to the actual file, right click it and choose "Mail Recipient" off the
send to menu, or click on the "Attach" paper clip in the body of your email
message and browse to the actual file to include. Don't despair, you surely
aren't the only person to send a short cut via email.
