Email option in 'My Photos' has stopped working!

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Check if Outlook Express is your default e-mail program:

1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Go to Tools, Internet Options.
3. Select the Programs tab.

Additionally:

Open OE, go to Tools, Options, General tab, click on the first Make Default button (if it is not dimmed).

To re-register Outlook Express:

Open Start, Open, type this line (without quotes) 'X:\Program Files\Outlook Express\Msimn.exe /reg' and press Enter.

(You must change the "X" into the drive letter where XP is installed.)

diannew,

Click Start, Run and type:

regsvr32 shimgvw.dll
regsvr32 sendmail.dll

If that does not help, fix the OE's default mail handlers using these
commands.

"%ProgramFiles%\Outlook Express\MSIMN.EXE" /REG
regsvr32 "%ProgramFiles%\Outlook Express\msoe.dll"

I have tried the suggestions offered by Daniel & Ramesh but still no luck.
Outlook Express is set as my default. Any more ideas on how I can correct
the problem?

diannew,

See if a third-party shell extension is blocking the "e-mail this folder"
feature. Follow method 2 here:
