Snipping tool and MS Outlook 2007

[Michael Taylor]

When I first used the Snipping tool and asked it to send to an email
recipient, the Windows Mail email client started running the new account
wizard. I ran it to completion but I want it to use MS Outlook 2007 which is
my default email program.


I used the 'default programs' tool to set Outlook 2007 as the default for
all email functions. Now when I use the snipping tool to send to an email
recipient, it does nothing. How do I get it to start a new email in Outlook
2007.

Thanks
Mike

Not sure how to reset it's email behaviour but just save the snip and then
add it as an attachment in Outlook.

Thanks, I realise I can save the snip and then attach it, but I shouldn't
need to. There must be a way! Will do some registry digging

I found some keys at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\TabletPC\Snipping Tool. It also
appears at another location, forget where though. Anyway, there are a couple
of interesting Dwords - SendTo and NotFirstRun. Mine are both set to decimal
1. I will adjust these and see if it affects sending to Outlook.

Changing the registry keys made no difference so I guess I found the wrong
ones. There's an option to always copy what you clip to the clipboard, so
it's easy enough to hit paste when in a new html email, so no messing around
with saving it to a file and then attaching it.
