Can't send web page by email

[Guest]

I'm using IE 6.0 and Outlook Express 6 under Windows XP. When I'm viewing a
web page and I try to "Send" (from the file menu) the current page via email,
nothing happens. On another system using Windows ME, when i try to send a web
page, the Outlook Express mail program pops up a new email with the web page
and all I need to do is insert the email recipient. Under Windows XP,
however, this doesn't happen.

Any suggestions on how to send an email web page via email?

From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/defaultl.htm

Go to Start | Run and type this command, with the double quotes and spaces:

"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /reg

and then make sure that OE is selected as the default mail program in both
IE and OE.

If that isn't enough, see this article:

You might also want to try this:

Restores OE to the E-mail clients list in Internet Options

To set Outlook as the default mail client,- Go to Start, Run - Type in the
following with quotation marks and press OK
"C:\program files\microsoft office\office\outlook.exe" /checkclient

Frank,

Thanks for your response. I finally had to go into the registry as suggested
in http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306098 to solve the problem. But that
worked, and I'm now able to use the "Send To" command to email web pages.

Thanks much!
