Hi Hammo,

Check to make sure that Windows Mail has all of it's defaults set to
it. This will show you how.

This the same issue I have. I uninstalled the trial version of Office then
started having issues. All of mail defaults are set. I did not have a
MailTo listed in protocols. Another post said to download some kind of patch
which I did. Now I have MailTo listed in protocols and the correct program
linked to it. Still having the same issue. Do I need to go in and manaually
fix the issue according to the "Fix svchost.exe Errors"?

I've had the same problem in XP now in Vista. My fantastic IT dept didnt have a clue, but me being bored have read various replies to no avail so decided to play with the settings myself and yippeee done it on my laptop anyway. Open up tools - internet options - programs, then - set programs - set programme access and computer defaults - custom (open it up) select windows mail (not current email programme) and ok. this is now working for me

Your procedure is essentially the same as the solution I posted in this
thread on September 15.
