Send Page by Link/Mail Grayed Out in IE8
I just completed a Clean/Install of Win7 Pro along with SP1 & all seems to be back working fine except one minor issue. When I click on “SEND” on IE8 menu, the Send Page by Link/Mail are grayed out.
The “Send To” function works fine when I right click on a document (my Windows Mail Opens Fine). Also, the Mail Icon on IE8 works fine when I click it.
I’m using Windows Mail using the enabling instructions provided in Papa Bears post here which I used successfully prior to my recent clean/install. Windows Mail works just fine in all respects except for the noted issue with IE8.
I’ve tried the solution for this issue provided in an earlier post by going to default program in control panel. “
[Choose "set program access and computer defaults". Choose custom. Next unselect "use current web browser" and select ie8. Do same for email. Click “OK”].
However, this is not working for me because after making these changes, they default back to previous setting (Use Current Web Browser/Email App). IE8 & Windows Mail are no longer selected when I reenter Default Programs.
Something simple I’m missing?
Thanks for any suggestions.:)
