Read Mail in Toolbar not working

[Michael]

When I click on Read Mail in the Toolbar on Internet Explorer, there is no
response. I removed the Read Mail command then added it again but it is
still the same. How do I get Read Mail to work.

Thanks in advance.

Make sure Windows Mail has all its defaults.
Go to Default Programs, which you can access either from the Start
menu or via the Control Panel, then click the first item: "Set your default
programs."
After a few seconds, a list of programs comes up. Click on Windows Mail.
If it doesn't respond with "This program has all its defaults" then fix it by
clicking on the option indicated by the first green arrow.

As long as you are there anyway, repeat the same thing for Internet Explorer.
