Re: Windows Mail Default Associations

Hi Brink,
sorry for my vagueness. Tried the registry thing but still nothing in my list of programmes. I have no other errors and no other mail programmes that i know of, I did upgrade from XP last week so I guess Outlook express is on my PC somewhere. I use Apple Safari as my web browser. Apologies again.

Re: Windows Mail Default Associations

Clover,

Did you tell you that the Reg file merged successfully? If yes, then you might try restarting the computer to see if Windows Mail is added back afterwards.

Re: Windows Mail Default Associations

Well, saving successfully to the desktop is fine, but it also had to of merged successfully after you had right clicked on the saved reg file and clicked on Merge. Has the reg file been merged?


When you click on the Windows Mail shortcut or the C:\Program Files\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe file, does it open Windows Mail without any problems?

Re: Windows Mail Default Associations

Hi again,
when i said the file had been saved i meant merged. everything went as described in the guide apart from where it appears in the default program part.
Sorry to be a pain in the butt, but Vista started it not me!
