Mailto protocol missing
Hi All
I cannot create a "mailto" shortcut that works. It appears that the mailto protocol is missing, Windows Live Mail is set as my default mail client in WLM settings, but it doe's not appear in the default program list. The only thing that shows up with any connection with WLM is "Windows Contacts"
I have been reading articles about this problem, and one suggested that a registry tweak in the "mailto" entry may repair the problem. However there is no "mailto" entry at the suggested location in the reg.
In default programs / Set program access and computer defaults / custom, I can choose WLM as my default email program, but when I return to that setting again it has reverted to "use current".
When I create a mailto shortcut it defaults it's association with Chrome, my default browser and carries a Chrome icon. I have re-installed WLM but that did nothing to resolve the problem.
Am running W7 Ultimate.
If anyone can help, it will be most appreciated.........
Thankyou for your help...Abe
