I think I will try Outlook as I have a hard time getting mail to go unless I come back after surfing a bit or after rebooting but this is long-standing.

EAFiedler has been most patient and extremely helpful in providing assistance to solve your problem but if you still feel that you would like to try Outlook in order to have everything functioning smoothly, may I suggest that you try Thunderbird or Eudora instead?

I was unsuccessful in resolving a similar problem for someone else recently who was not able to right-click in Windows Explorer and use Send To > Outlook Express for .jpg files but after Thunderbird was installed as the default mail client he was able to use Send To > Thunderbird.

The user, however, required another feature that Thunderbird appeared not to support so he uninstalled Thunderbird and installed Eudora instead, the email client that I use myself. He is now totally happy with Eudora which functions exactly as he requires.

As Thunderbird is much more similar to Outlook Express than Eudora is you might like to consider giving it a try.

Hi guys,

I had a similar problem with the SendTo folder not affecting what actually appearing under "Send To" when I right-clicked a file. The problem was that at some stage I moved my personal settings from C:\ to D:\ (so all my docs and settings were on D:, so that if I needed to format C my docs would stay intact). Anyway, as it turned out, I had two SendTo folders, but only one actually did anything. Using TweakUI (free from Microsft - google it) I discovered the actual location of my working SentTO folder and copied the shortcuts from the dud folder there. (I could also have changed which folder it looked at for the shortcuts, I expect it really doesn't make much difference).
I think TweakUI just modifies these registry entries:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\SendTo
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

- amongst others - once you locate the folder you can run a search for it in regedit, but it's quicker, easier and safer to use tweakUI. (I haven't tried changing the registry keys. I didn't need to).

Hope this is helpful to someone!
