32 bit version of Windows?

I've been through the problem of a broken mail recipient and did get it fixed eventually. My workaround- as published elsewhere- was to place a shortcut as I said. That's with 64 bit Windows.

If you mean Outloook- I have no experience of that, sorry.

Yes, my problem is with 64 bit outlook on 64 bit windows, I thought that as I am running 64 bit windows it would make sense to install 64 bit office.

Many thanks, followed each of the 3 methods and none have fixed the problem, it would seem if I want this feature I will have to reinstall 32 bit office.

Create a New Shortcut on your Desktop using mailto:, (with the colon), as the protocol and see if it creates an Outlook Shortcut.

Did you check @dalchina 's post #25?

Have you tried my idea of simply putting a shortcut to Outlook in the Sendto folder?

And what do you have here?


(as you can see, mine's Tbird).

And here?

Registry has the correct reference . among the default references there is none from mailto . there is one for email . it is set to Thunderbird .
