| | I cant make windows mail my default mail handler every time it opens it says its not the default. I can go to options and click make default which it accepts but after presing OK and reopening options it says again it is not the default mail handler I had thought that this ptoblem was linked to have outlook installed I have uninstalled this now and rebnooted but the problem persists linked to this problem perhaps is the fact that internet options only sees windows mail as a news handler any ideas please If I have to reinstall it how do I go about doing that thanks david S |

| | Re: I cant make windows mail my default mail handler I have removed outlook from the start menu. The problem is that in default programs windows mail appears as Windows Mail(news) and all the defaults refer only to newsgroups not emails so I can't set windows mail as the default email handler I reinstalled outlook and this appears as the default mail hander in default programs but the default mail handler option is ticked/checked and disabled to I cant uncheck it The version of outlook is student /teacher edition for XP any other ideas David |
