| Administrator Rep Power: 150 | Re: Default mail problem dcronje, Download the reg file and merge it from the NOTE under step 4. It seems like you lost your MAIL TO protocol. This will add it back for you. It would not hurt to make sure that Internet Explorer has all of it's default associations set to it as well. Shawn |

| Administrator Rep Power: 150 | Re: Default mail problem Dcronje, Well, the only thing left to do is to reset Windows Mail or use another email program like Windows Live Mail instead. For Windows Live Mail see the THIRD section. To reset Windows Mail, see the How to Backup and Reset Windows Mail section. Windows Mail problems Shawn |

| Newbie Rep Power: 6 | Re: Default mail problem OK, I got it right. Under the help files I had to open "Set Program Access and Computer defaults", then "Custom" and then I had to check IE and Windows mail. |
