Hi Louis,

This might be a permissions issue. Click Start, type the following and press ENTER:

cmd /k reg query hkcr\mailto /s

Copy/Paste the output along with your reply.

Checked the link I posted earlier? The article was originally written for Windows XP, but the steps can be adapted for Windows Vista. Don't have a Vista box ATM, otherwise I'd give you step by step instructions.
