Hi everyone,
I've spent the past few days trying to figure out why I see the message
"default mail client not properly installed" , when I click a "mailto"
link in FF3 or IE7. I was searching google and reading forums, and
editing lines in the "about
:config" settings in FF3 and TB2, and even
using the regedit in Vista, and I don't have a lot of experience in
this, so luckily I didn't mess anything up.
HOWEVER,
I found a quick/easy solution to this.
Go to Control Panel --> Default Programs. Instead of clicking "Set Your
Default Programs", click "Set Program Access and Computer Defaults."
Click the Down Arrows on the right hand side for the "Custom" Row.
INSTEAD OF clicking "Use My current Web browser/email-client, click on
use FF, and use TB, and check Enable Access to this program.
All I know is that I had clicked "Set your Default programs" dozens of
times and tried that, but when I tried this "set program access and
defaults" and tried this method, my mailto links worked like a charm.
