Vista - No Send to Mail Recipient Option

Can anyone tell me why when i right click on a file, there is no send
to mail recipient option available. All of the other options are
available, such as removable disk, desktop as shortcut etc, but not
the mail recipient option. I am using Thunderbird 1.5 and running
Vista Home Premium.

This would appear to be a result of setting Thunderbird as your
default email program. Thunderbird issues should be addressed
in a Thunderbird forum.

I use to have my default mail client as microsoft outlook 2003 and i
had the same problem. So hence when i change it now to Microsoft
Outlook, there is still no "send to mail recipeint"

Go to Default Programs, which you can access 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 Microsoft Outlook. If all is well, it will respond
"This program has all its defaults."
If it reports less than all (2) of its defaults, fix it by selecting
the option indicated by the first green arrow.

Yes i have done this, and indeed my default emal client is now
Microsoft Outlook. However there is still no "send to mail recipient"
option when i right click on files

If you haven't done so already, try this fix:

"Restore missing Mail Recipient entry to the Send To menu in Windows Vista"

If that doesn't fix it, I'm fresh out of ideas.

I have tried that also. Oh well, it is not the end of the world not
having that option, is just frustrating. Thanks very much for your
help all the same.

Tom: Is there a file "C:\Users\<Tom Or your desired user
name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo\MailRecipient.MAPIMail"
containing just the word Mail? If not, try creating one in Notepad and save
it to that folder, then, if needed, delete the txt extension so that only
the name MailRecipient.MAPIMail is retained. See if that fixes the problem.
