    Right Click - Send to Email recipient has gone!

    For years.. I have right clicked an item to email and chosen SEND TO MAIL RECIPIENT.... but it's gone from my Vista64 PC.

    I have googled it and found many fixes.. none of which have so far worked.

    Do you have outlook installed?

    What mail client are you using?

    edit: seem to recall you use outlook because ur a xobni fan too.

    try doing a:
    "regsvr32 sendmail.dll /s"
    from administrative command prompt.

    please let me know if it errors, otherwise you do have the mail client associated with the shell? (right click on the task bar, properties...)

    Re: Right Click - Send to Email recipient has gone!

    zak, grab a copy of the shortcut from http://www.ab10.org/hexus/mail.rar

    In W7 it's in: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo

    I suspect it is the same in Vista.

    Re: Right Click - Send to Email recipient has gone!

    If you have a look at the shortcut you'll see its not *really* a shortcut.

    Its all part of the heap-o-crap that is explorer. Because actually why do it like that, when you can have a 'verb' defined in the registry, that uses an in process com server (hmmm, stable AND easy to debug!)["serious sarcasm"].

    All the shortcut does is use the magic word 'Mail'. The idea is that is then configurable so that you can have ANY mail client do what it wants with it, virus scanners can create a chain of code to go through and it can stop working in a myriad of ways.

    Re: Right Click - Send to Email recipient has gone!

    Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail?

    Have you tried that regsvr32 thing none the less, and do you have it asociated with the shell?

    Re: Right Click - Send to Email recipient has gone!

    yup, you can just copy n paste the text in a code block if u want (easyer than screen shot).

    the shell is the user interface, in this case the explorer bar at the bottom.

    I've not got a vista machine here, but right click choose properties, there should be something in one of the tabs thats quite obvious for choosing the mail client. Drop down combo box iirc.

    Then click OK.

    Basically <something> re-configured windows a bit for you.

    Hmm, are there any other user accounts on the laptop you can try?

    Now you might find it works putting funk's link in your profile.


    Also a side note:

    Re: Right Click - Send to Email recipient has gone!

    I had the same issue with my XP 64-bit install a while back and after trying every fix short of re-installing the OS I gave up.
    I ended up creating a shortcut in my send-to folder (C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\SendTo) that pointed at:

    "E:\Microsoft Office 2007\Office12\OUTLOOK.EXE" /c IPM.Note.sendto /a
