All of a sudden, I am unable to have outlook express as the default e-mail
program. The option to name Outlook Express under Tools and Options is "greyed out". The option under Internet Explorer under tools and programs shows Outlook Express as the default mail program. But, I cannot use the send command under any other application program including Word, Excel, etc. and also Internet Explorer. Error message says there is no default mail program and telss me to set up one under "Outlook". I dont't use Outlook. Any Ideas how to solve problem? |

Re-register Outlook Express as your default mail program.
Go to Start | Run and type the following: "C:\PROGRAM FILES\OUTLOOK EXPRESS\MSIMN.EXE" /reg (Check the path to msimn.exe to make sure that is correct) Make certain to include the quotations marks and the space between the ending quotation mark and the slash. Then open Internet Explorer and go to Tools\Internet Options\Programs and set OE as the default mail (and news) program. If you only experience a problem when attempting to send a link, then also look at this KB article for a registry edit that may be of help: OLEXP: "Send To" and E-mail Links Do Not Work w.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for your help. I had reviewed prior postings and tried your recommendations before. But, I tried again from the Run command as you suggested. IE already had OE as the Default Mail program and I chose it again. Went to OE Tools, Options and looked under General and found that the option to set OE as the Default Mail Handler is still greyed out. I will reboot and take another look. How do I look at the registery to see what is specified as the default mail handler? Ed "Jim Pickering" wrote: Re-register Outlook Express as your default mail program.

Hi Jim again,
I think I described my problem incorrectly as it appears that OE is the default mail handler under OE and IE, but am still unable to use the send command (Page or Link) with any other application. Error message says "Either there is no default mail client or the current default mail client cannot run the current request. Please run Microsoft Office Outlook and set as the default mail client. Does this make sense to follow the suggestion? Ed "Ed.Rob" wrote: Hi Jim, Thanks for your help. I had reviewed prior postings and tried your recommendations before.

What exactly are you attempting to send with "any other application?" What
application? Outlook Express is a simple MAPI and cannot handle complex sending. Really need to know more details of what you are trying to do and with what application.

Hi Jim,
I am an experienced user and use the send feature frequently with Word, Excel, Front Page, Publisher, Internet Explorer, etc. I have never had a problem using the send feature with any of the variations options(Attachement, Review, Link, etc) in the last several years with any application using OE until last week. The error message I put in my last reply was from IE and I have tried the send feature with all of the applications and get error messages of different types.

In your SendTo folder, is there a zero byte file called "MailRecipient"? It
sounds like you may have a damaged file. You can replace it by doing the following. Open Windows Explorer and check your "SendTo" folder and see if there is a zero byte file called "Mail Recipient.MAPIMail" and if not found, create a empty file using notepad with that name and save it in the SendTo folder. Remove the default txt extension from it by renaming it without an extension. -- Jim Pickering MVP-Outlook Express/Windows Mail Please reply to newsgroup only so that others may be helped with your feedback.

I have found several items that may point us in the proper direction.
First, I did find the "MailRecipient.MAPIMail" in the SendTo Folder. That looks OK Then, I found the following Registery items under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail: Name Type Data ab(Default) REG_SZ Outlook Express abPreFirstRun REG_SZ Either there is no default mail program or the current mail program cannot fulfill the request. Please run Microsoft Office Outlook and set it as the default mail client. The second registry item is strange and should I delete it? Should I uninstall Outlook and see what happens??
