Vista - Vista,Microsft Office Outlook and using "send page by email"

Help-

I have been able to delete Microsoft Office Outlook from Office 2007 , but
NOW when I am on Internet Explorer and want to send a page by email, using
the "page" drop down are listed "PAGE", it say CANNOT send PAGE or cannot
send LINK until I CREATE A PROFILE under the MICROSOFT OFFICE OUTLOOK---

I just got rid of OUTLOOK OFFICE but I NEED this usage of my computer..

HOW do I NOW fix this problem..????

I am ready to UNSTALL OFFICE 2007 and send it on a thousand pieces to Bill
Gates...THIS is soooooooooooo frustrating.
Now I know why the MAC commercials are right on target.

I NEED usage of my WIN MAIL AND the usage of "send page or link by email" on
my computer...

PLEASE HELP___________________FRUSTRATING>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Just how did you "delete" Outlook? Programs should never be deleted
but always properly uninstalled.

The reason you get that error is because Vista has not been told that
Outlook is no longer handling the mail protocols.

Open the Default Programs applet, which you can access either from
the Start menu or via the Control Panel, then click the first item:
"Set your default programs."
After a few seconds, a list of programs comes up. Click on Windows
Mail. If it doesn't respond with "This program has all its defaults"
then fix it by clicking on the option indicated by the first green arrow.

Outlook Express won't run under Vista.

A different program, named Outlook, will. Versions 2003 and 2007
run well under Vista; versions 2000 and 2002 also run under Vista,
but with some problems. If you want to discuss Outlook, you're likely
to get better answers in a newsgroup meant for Outlook, such as:

microsoft.public.outlook.general

If you want to download Outlook, it comes as part of some, but not all,
of the Microsoft Office packages, available at extra cost.

The vista.mail newsgroup is meant for discussing the email/newsreader
program that comes with Vista, properly known as Windows Mail.

Actually, these should be compatible with Windows Mail also since Windows
Mail is actually Outlook Express under the hood (sadly, minus some of OE's
functionality). The main change for external programs is the file name for
the executable - "msimn.exe" was changed to "winmail.exe". The authors of
these programs shouldn't have much trouble revising them to reflect the new
executable name. Have you contacted any of them for work-arounds? I've
fixed some similar problems by editing the registry entries for external
programs to reflect the name change.

This is probably something you should have tested out before you
left on that cruise. :-(
Scripts that work with Outlook Express are not going to work with
Windows Mail, and OE can't be installed on Vista.
You are probably not in a position to fix this now, but one solution
would have been to set that laptop up for dual-booting between
Vista and XP, or else just wipe it and install only XP.

Virtual PC may work, but I have no experience with it.

Because I am a creature of habit and learned how to use it and like it...and
I also imported all my OUTLOOK EXPRESS contacts and emails into WIN MAIL...

I'm not getting a lot of feedback from you. What did Defaults Programs
have to say about Windows Mail?

Make sure Internet Explorer is set as the default browser.
