Vista Tutorial - ultimate: problems/default email client..

07-13-2008

when I'm a a folder with images in Windows Explorer and I select a photo
or photos and right-click and select "Win Zip" -> "zip and email", after
zipping the images it opens Windows Mail, when in fact Windows Mail is
NOT my default email program.. (what does "default" setting mean then
if it still opens another email client from the one you set as
default???) if I click on a "mailto" link in any browser it takes me to
email client I set as default, but not from Windows Explorer... (what a
surprise....

is there a way to fix this???

thank you...

Vista has a neat Control Panel feature now ... Default Programs.
Good luck trying to find the option you need for Winzip --> zip and email.
