WinMail as defaut program

[Guest]

I can not get Windows Mail to stay as my default E-mail client. When I set it
as standard from WinMail itself it goes back to not standard next time I open
it. It does not show in default programs. Have installed Outlook 2002 but not
set it as standard.
Made som small change in register soo that I can use mailto. (would be nice
to set all back as standard)
Please help.

Start | Default Programs
Make sure Windows Mail has all three of its defaults.

Only Newsgroups is present for Windows Mail

Only Newsgroups is present for Windows Mail

So, did you click Set as Default?
BTW, every time an update installs for Outlook it will set Outlook as the
default.

Type or paste the following command into the Start search bar and hit Enter:

"C:\Program Files\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe" OCInstallReinstallOE

(include the quote marks).

Then reboot and see if Windows Mail is now present in Default Programs.

Yes I have clickt on set as defaut, but as I said it only set Windows Mail
(newsgroups) as default not e-mail.
I have uninstalled Outlook and that did not help.

Have tried that too. Only thing that happens is that I get a new icon in
startmenu. In default programs it is the same only Windows Mail (newsgroups)
are present no Windows Mail for E-Mail.
I think that Outlook have screwed up my regfile. Is there no way to enter
default patch for Windows Mail (e-mail) manualy in regfile ?

Hi Annero,
are present no Windows Mail for E-Mail.

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". This should restore "Windows Mail" to the Default Programs listing.
