This method of bypassing Skydrive works, it is the one I use all the time.
SkyDrive bypass for pictures in email
Go to picture source (My Pictures) select pictures (Ctrl-Click for multiples)
Click on email (on top of screen) select size (if other than full size desired)
Click attach, it should then open in Windows Live Email.
It will be in the Sky Drive format
Click on one of the pictures
Click the format button on top
Click the paperclip
That cuts out SkyDrive and makes the photos regular attachments.
Add email address, type message and send

SkyDrive suddenly appeared on my machine! It's not visible anywhere ( in Programs,mail accounts,networks etc. , so how do I get access to it?
E-mailing pics using my cannon and nikon apps don't work right! I want to remove SkyDrive or at least remove this computer from SkyDirve... can't do that either!
I take it from this thread, it cannot be removed, so how do I find it so I can at least use it?

When I send pics via e-mail the SkyDrive name appears on the page with the image. I cannot resize the pic, nor can the recipient.

In WLM (I think even the latest 2012 version, to which I have not yet updated) Skydrive is an optional way to send photos, called "Photo Email". If you use that feature the email program only sends a link to Skydrive which has a fairly high resolution version, viewable and downloadable to recipients of the email who have the link. If you prefer to have the photo "attached" do not use "Photo Email"; instead look for the "attach" or "insert" options.

I came looking for information on WLM/SkyDrive because this very day was my first experience of it.
One of the lucky ones, I inherited Win7 late in its techno and my literal life. I mourn the loss of XP and would make happy use of a lead pipe on those Sillycone Valley technocrats whose mission in life is to show how smart they are by making life increasingly difficult for the vast majority of users on the www who have to put up with increasingly difficult formats, and as others have said here; so that they have ever increasing control, slowly eliminating personal choice.
I do not want to be banned on a first post so the lead pipe will do, and any other sentiments are between me and the cat.
However, if technological systems were to be given an enema; the rubber tube would be inserted into Windows Live Mail.
I see it as worthwhile to post on this old thread, because it deals precisely with what most of you have known about for four? years.
As a Senior I've tackled most of the vagaries of Win7, but from the get go saw WLM as the spawn of Satan. Today I tried to send my first picture.....
You know the rest. I refused to join the SkyDrive skidmark; and naively thought I could just send. I sent a nicely framed 'X'.
Searching lead to this thread. Without the ingenuity of those who work on solutions, we would all be right Royally skewed.
Skewed. I said skewed. Nowt rude there...
I have used the 'attach file' method, but will explore the other options on offer. At my age I do not have the time to waste in deciphering this latest (for me) deceitful pile of hit (with a silent s).
Thank-you for these solutions. sevenforums has been a valuable tool in the two months that I have had Win7.
I had to vent. This has delayed sending an important image by over two hours.
