Outlook 2010 is Not Recognized as the Default Email Client while sending email using other Office application.
Q:To verify Outlook is indeed set as your default email
client:
Answer: Follow the steps
- Open Control Panel and search for Default Programs.
- Select Set Default Programs link.
- Choose Microsoft Outlook from
the list of programs.
Click "Set this program as default".
Open regedit then
press Enter. (You'll probably need to ok a security dialog.)
In the Registry
editor, browse to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail
Right click on the
Mail key and Export a copy for backup.
Right-click on Mail
again and create a new key called Outlook64Bridge
Next, right-click on
Outlook64Bridge and create a key under it called DLLPath. Right-click again and
create a key called DLLPathEx.
Locate the 32 bit
version of the file MAPI32.dll on your computer and enter the complete path
name in each DLLPath key (replacing "something\something\...." with
the correct path on your computer):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Outlook64Bridge\DLLPath
"C:\WINDOWS\something\something\....\mapi32.dll"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Outlook64Bridge\DLLPathEx
"C:\WINDOWS\something\something\....\mapi32.dll"
(On my computer, a
mapi32.dll is at
C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-mapi_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.17514_none_ad54ab3a7801c830)
Next, change the
default client to Outlook64Bridge:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail
"Outlook64Bridge"
