I use Windows 7, Explorer and Windows Live Mail. Just create a custom record. So simple! Thanks for your good working suggestions.

I was using Incredimail and finally realized that Win7 doesn’t recognize this email program. I had to use these steps to custom my defaults and make Mozilla my default and only now can I email webpages with no problems.

Thank you so much for this tip – I have been quite frustrated about not being able to send pages/links since I got Windows Live with my new laptop. Very much appreciated.

I use Outlook 2010 as my e-mail program, for my main e-mail account and have a Google mail account for web replies, where my inbox is forwarded to my Outlook/main account. After downloading IE9, I have been unable to either e-mail a web page or have Google automatically forward my mail. I had to unload IE9 and return to IE8, where both functionalities have returned.

I’m using fully up to windows 7 64 bit with all the updates and am getting this problem with the option to send webpage by email and send link by email greyed out.

It was particularly useful for keeping a record of your ebay pages before they expire. And you can use them as a template and keep on the webmail servers.

I have done the steps you said but it hasn’t made any difference … and yes the default program windows live mail and so on.

Thanks it worked with Windows 7 and IE 8. I do not have outlook but selected windows live mail and the send page and send link by email is no longer grayed out.

I learned this fix in the past and it worked but again now the commands were greyed out and I forgot the fix. It seems somehow something makes the computer forget the default email program over time. Good to make a note for the future. Thanks.
