Can anybody provide clear, concise instructions on how to make Gmail my default email on Windows 7? Example, when I want to email a photo, I right click on it, select "send to" and "mail recipient". I select size of photo, "attach" and error message comes up... "there is no email program associated to perform the requested action. please install an email program, or if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel."

For the answer, I searched this site, the web in general and YouTube. Lots of info, and I tried following instructions to the letter, but nothing has worked so far.

What am I missing? btw, I'm not an idiot, but I'm not ultra tech savvy either.
