    I dunno if it's been mentioned in the over 1064 posts, but I dislike Thunderbird and I like Windows Mail.

    What I do now is I use Google Gmail and use that to receive and send my email, including from Hotmail. I suggest others configure Gmail instead of installing inadequate third party email programs. I seriously doubt Microsoft is going to bring Windows Mail.

    What to do with Take Ownership in the right click context menu after successful install of WM ?

    Should it be removed?

    Any harm in leaving it there?

    Thanks

    I would keep it as it's useful from time to time.

    I just formatted and reinstalled my spare Win 7 Ultimate SP1 partition & can't make Windows Mail the default handler for .eml but it opens OK (Calendar too) & it refuses to appear in my Default Program list. I tried a quick fix I found online and the registry wont take the file saying process in use or similar.

    I'm wondering if in my haste to fix it I have actually broken something again. WM appears in my default program list in my main Win 7 boot but I can't remember what I did to get it that way.

    Ideas anyone?

    After much searching and scratching of head I finally remembered I had started a thread on this self same issue way back when...THIS post fixed the Default Program problem.

    Win7 64 sfc /scannow


    I have been using Windows mail(64 bit) in Win7(64 bit) for a few months. The problem I encounter is that the sfc /scannow changes the Vista msoe.dll back to the Win7 version.

    Is there a way to prevent this when using Win7 64 bit OS?

    Thanks

    Hello Glatzfront,

    Sorry, but no. That's the purpose of the sfc /scannow command to restore system files back to default.

    I'd recommend to keep a copy of the modified version of the file saved somewhere to help make it easy to add it back after running a sfc /scannow command.

    Thanks for your reply. I have a copy saved.

    OK, deleting this registry entry

    fixes the sfc /scannow replacement of the one and only file(msoe.dll) that windows mail uses from Vista. Experiment Over
