Emailing pictures from My Pictures

[jackie]

Hi
My friend is running Windows XP Professional and he can't email from My
Pictures / My Documents. When he right clicks on the picture he wants to
emails and selects "Send to" Email Recipient - nothing happens at all.

He has no problems with his emails using Outlook Express and can attach a
photo and send it that way. Outlook Express is set as the default email
application.

I got him to try doing Start, Run and regsvr32 shimgvw.dll and regsvr32
sendmail.dll but it has made no difference.

Any ideas?

No really GOOD ideas other than to look at the send to folder and ensure the
email option is still set properly.

A couple of things...

A firewall might see that as the explorer.exe process running and trying to
send email - then block it silently, as might an AV application. The
explorer.exe process /shouldn't/ be sending email and when it does that's
often seen as something exploiting the system.

The link may be broken... http://kgiii.info/ignore/mail.zip (feel free to
examine it first) is a link that was on my system in my C:\Documents and
Settings\<my user>SendTo folder. They'll need to enable viewing of hidden
files and folders.

Thank you both for your replies. I have sent my friend the instructions to
run the repair, but I haven't heard back yet if they worked or not.

Appreciate your time.
Thanks
