"Right Click, Send to Mail Recipient" does not open e-mail window
I am not able to send a email by direct right clicking on the same. I had some new photos in a folder. Before I just have to right click on the photo and click on Send To > Email. Outlook loads up and the attachment appears automatically. I just need to add the sending address and done. The mail goes and the window disappears. Now when I try to attach any document or photo nothing happens. The attachment does not appears nor the email window is visible. By default email client is Outlook. How can I restore this thing back.

Looks like problem with Default Program association. You can fix that from Control Panel. Such issue normally appears after installing fresh Windows Updates. Do this, go in Control Panel and look for Default Programs. In that click on Set Program Access and defaults. Now there will be a custom button next to Mail. Check that Outlook is selected as the default one. If not then choose it manually and click on OK. Reboot your system one time and then check back. You need admin access to make changes.

Thanks for that reply. But I forget to mention one thing here. I had setup my email accounts in Outlook 2007. This is the default mail client I am using and the same is listed under Default Program. There is nothing else selected. I had checked and I am not able to get the right cure for this issue. Does this problem lies with Office 2007 in Windows Vista. I was working fine but suddenly it stopped working. You are right, there were some fresh updates installed recently. But I think that is not the cost of this problem.

Before system restore do one thing. Go on Control Panel and click on Set your Default programs. In that if Outlook is selected as default mail client change that to Windows Mail. Now restart your computer. Again go on the same section and change that Outlook. Ensure that Microsoft Outlook is working and it is downloading all the mails. You can check that manually by launching it. If that does not load up or your system freezes then it looks issue with Microsoft Office. You have to run a Repair setup through Office installation disc.

I have a similar problem but with a twist... In Windows Explorer, when I go to a file and click the right mouse button for the Send To function, I don't even get the "Mail Recipient" option to even open Outlook Office... this feature always worked for me until yesterday and I've tried the suggestions on this site but nothing worked... I get Fax Recipient, and Blue Tooth and all the other but not Mail Recipient... Any ideas...

Somehow it seems to have been disappeared from your system, what you can do is - go to Start and then in Run option just type in: regsvr32 shimgvw.dll. Check if the problem of Right Click Menu Mail Recipient has been solved?
Re: "Right Click, Send to Mail Recipient" does not open e-mail window
I tried your suggestions but get the following pop-up...
Regsvr32
The module "shimgvw.dll" was loaded but the
entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found.
Make sure that "shimgvw.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and try again.
I did a searched on my machine and found shimgvw.dll, but I did not open it or know of a way to verify if it's good or corrupt...

Can you try to go to Start and then Run:
regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll
This error that you are getting seems to be related wih Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. What is the operating system you have installed?
Re: "Right Click, Send to Mail Recipient" does not open e-mail window
I am using Windows 7 Enterprise, SP1, 64 bit OS, with Microsoft Office Outlook...
I tried your suggestion, regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll but get the same error message...

I assume that you have some corrupted files in your windows 7 pc. Try the following steps: Open Command Prmopt (Start > Accesories > Command Line/Command Prompt) > Type in the command "Sfc /scannow" Without the quotes. It should then scan the system files and attempt to repair them. If that doesnt work then try to create another account and check if you are getting similar problems or not.
