Vista - emailing pictures

simply trying to email a picture from "my pictures"....I get a message which
says 'sorry, no profile has been found' (or something close to that) then it
says to get a profile I should click on the mail icon in the control panel
-- I've sent many pictures in the past without getting this message and I
don't know what they mean by a "profile" or "mail icon...control panel"
help please

Correct me if im wrong, but i think if you use the email option that is integrated in windows explorer, you must have a mail profile and client set up. If you do not have outlook, outlook express ect. set up on your computer then just use the web based client of your email provider.
