could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed
If I am trying to click on a link which is like mailto:address@somehere.com in Internet Explorer browser or maybe in Windows Live Mail, then I will get the following error message in Internet explorer which states that "could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed". I have already checked that Windows Live Mail is the default program used in my computer. Even when I am making the Windows Mail as default program then also it gives the same error message. Can anyone help me please. Thanks.

To work around this issue:
