Vista - mailto

If I click an email address on a website it will not start Windows Mail.
Also when I try to set Windows Mail as default by clicking the "Make
Default" button, then open "Options" again it is back to " This program is
NOT the default mail handler."
I have not installed any other mail program.
Thanks in advance

Try this: Go to Default Programs, which you can reach
either from the Start menu or 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. To the right you should then see
"This program has all its defaults."
If it has less than all of its defaults, fix it by selecting one
of the two options indicated by green arrows.

Try going to Start | Search and paste this into the window and hit return.
Then see if that helps at all.

"C:\Program Files\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe" OCInstallReinstallOE
