My XP/SP2 box is missing the Mail Recipient option in the Send To menu when I right click on a file in Windows Explorer. (I have installed the Resize Images Power Toy.) I use Outlook Express.

Check your internet options to make sure you have a default email program. Maybe something killed your default setting.

I hope this helps.

Yes, IE7 does show OE as default email program, and it comes up when I send a page/link.

Check the following folder, substituting your username for "yourname," and change the drive letter if C: is not your boot drive:

C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\SendTo

You should see "Mail Recipient" in this folder. If it is missing, copy it from another account or another XP computer. It looks like the actual file name is "Mail Recipient.MAPIMail"

I hope this helps.

Hi Craig,
Yes, i set default mail program as OE at the internet option in IE.
BTW, a week ago i uninstall and install IE, i think it happen after that.

MS may have conveniently changed its behavior with an update. See if the following works for you.

Open a folder, such as My Documents.
Highlight a file to email.
On the left side, open up File and Folder Tasks.
Click on E-mail this File.

I hope this works for you!
