Hi All I cannot create a 'mailto' shortcut that works. Ashby diagram software. 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.

Dec 16, 2017 - One of my customers is still using Windows Live Mail as their default. Control panel and go to Set Program Access and Defaults (SPAD). Run regedit and open this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Clients Mail. Mar 7, 2018 - Hkey_local_machine Software Clients Mail Default Program To Open. And file associations do not typically use the Default Programs.

Hi Shawn Tried the reg patch, but came up with a problem, when you try to merge it I get an error message 'cannot import, error accessing the registry'. I have added entries to the registry before and had no trouble, maybe I'm doing something wrong? Or maybe my Reg is corrupt?

Have just realized that I do have the 'mailto' entry in the reg 'sorry shawn didn't scroll down far enough' but I cannot access it. Tried running regedit as admin and got this message. Nv dvr installation cd keys.

'mailto cannot be opened an error is preventing this key from being opened, details: Access is denied' Regards Abe.
