Evidently I am ignorant of new characteristics in Windows 7 which might eliminate our reliance on regsvr32 based solutions . I at last found a repair for my case using the provided User interface , for example . Control Panel, Default Programs, in that you can assign Program Access and Computer Defaults, Custom, select default E-mail program, Windows Live Mail, satisfactory. I'm not certain what it did though.

I was expecting to make out a change regarding SendMail's CLSID, for example put it in the HKLM Shell Extensions permitted list but that actually did not happen. Security/obscurity? Unluckily I unwisely neglected to have ProcMon capture whatever that manual process did do. My query is: why didn't this occur automatically when I downloaded and reinstalled WL fundamentals, including WLMail? It is the *only* E-mail software installed so of course I desire it to be the "default" one

It may assist to research with Default Programs, Set Associations for the Mailto protocol. However, I have had issues with Internet Explorer somehow not following modifications made that way. I still have to undertake to mark out that with ProcMon to endeavor to understand it better. But I have never gone through your indications of not being able to use the File, Send... options at all. I just become conscious that Windows 7 doesn't contain an E-mail client at all, so I was presuming that you had either installed Live Mail (e.g. downloaded and installed Live Essentials) or had installed Outlook or some other E-mail client. If that's not the case it would certainly give details about your indications.

Do you have any other E-mail clients you can actually choose that link with?

on the other hand, because that is a symbol of a broken User inter face and since sendmail.dll is registerable you can attempt re-registering it. In actuality, you could attempt using this common repair process for more of the same. By the way because it is based on the old Internet explorer 5 Repair procedure which used to do its re-registration at the time of reboot you can further replicate that by executing the cmd during a safe mode command only boot or else just attempt to minimize what else is running when you strive it.
