In IE8 go to, Tools - Internet Options - Programs tab - Set Programs
button - last option, "Set program access and computer defaults"
(W7-specific) - select "Custom" and click the double down arrow at far
right - set all three to the first option, "Use my current . . . " and CHECK
all three checkboxes (well, only the middle one applies to Windows Live
Mail, but it can't hurt to take care of all three while you're doing this).
If you've set Windows Live Mail as your default email client in the normal
"Set your default programs", this will enable the "Send Page" and "Send
Link" features in IE8. There's something more specific in IE8 with that
"Set program access and computer defaults" . . . . . .
