| | WinMail as defaut program I can not get Windows Mail to stay as my default E-mail client. When I set it as standard from WinMail itself it goes back to not standard next time I open it. It does not show in default programs. Have installed Outlook 2002 but not set it as standard. Made som small change in register soo that I can use mailto. (would be nice to set all back as standard) Please help. |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: WinMail as defaut program Hi Annero, Go to this link and scroll down a bit and do this section: Set Windows Mail defaults: Windows Mail problems It will show you how to add Windows Mail back to the default program list and how to change the defaults. Also, make sure that in Outlook you have "Always make or set as default" (Something like that) unchecked. Hope this helps, Shawn |

| | Re: WinMail as defaut program Type or paste the following command into the Start search bar and hit Enter: "C:\Program Files\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe" OCInstallReinstallOE (include the quote marks). Then reboot and see if Windows Mail is now present in Default Programs.

| | Re: WinMail as defaut program Have tried that too. Only thing that happens is that I get a new icon in startmenu. In default programs it is the same only Windows Mail (newsgroups) are present no Windows Mail for E-Mail. I think that Outlook have screwed up my regfile. Is there no way to enter default patch for Windows Mail (e-mail) manualy in regfile ?
