attach pictures to emails

Hi Guys,

In Vista when I click on a picture then select the email (to attach to
email) tab it opens Outlook, how can I stop this heppening? I want it to
open a program called Win Mail and send my emails from there with the picture
attached.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards wombat

Open Windows Mail
Click on Tools, Options, and set Windows Mail as the default mail handler.

Click Start, select Default Programs
Click Set program access and computer defaults
Click Custom, and select Windows Mail
Click OK

Then, follow these steps:

Click Set your default programs
Select your mail client from the list
Click Set this program as default
Click OK

And in addition to the replies you have got about setting Windows mail as
default, all that will change when an Office update is downloaded and
installed.
If your friend really doesn't use Outlook for anything (and I can't think as
to why not - much better than Windows Mail), then the only answer is to
uninstall Outlook to prevent this happening time after time...
