when right clicking on a file I want to mail it via
Outlook (not Outlook express!).
Right now it launches the Outlook express mail window.
How can I configure it so it creates a Outlook message
(with the document name in the subject line and the
document already inserted as an attachment)
Tried to enter a shortcut for Outlook but that doesn't do
anything.
THanks
 
Load Internet Explorer

Tools | Internet Options

Navigate to the Programs Tab and make sure Outlook is the
default mail client.
