Vista - MAIL PROBLEMS

01-09-2009

Outlook is my default email program most of the time. Lately when I email
documents, it is being sent out via Windows Email and embedded in the
message. There is no option to "send to recipient as attachment" I would
like to have Outlook as my only default program, how would I accomplish
this? Thanks!

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 "Microsoft
Outlook". 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.
