Mail not listed as default program

Guest

I can't set Windows mail to be my default email program. when I click the
"make default" button, it goes light as if being accepted, but it's not.
Windows Mail does not show up on my list of default programs. I think Outlook
may have been my default, but I uninstalled it. How do I get Windows Mail as
my default? Thank you all in adance for your help..

Windows Mail does not show up on my list of default programs.

Download and apply mailclients.reg file from my site here:
http://www.winhelponline.com/fixes/mailclients.reg

Save the file to desktop, right-click on the downloaded file and choose "Merge".

Thank you sooooo much! I have spent hours trying to remedy this to no avail.
Now it works perfectly. Do I keep the file I downloaded, or should I delete
it?
