MS Outlook

Hello guys

I have a slight problem with Microsoft Outlook.

Each time I select Send To|Mail Recipient from the popup menu that comes-up when right-clicking on a file, I get the window in Image1.jpg asking me to select a profile even though I have only one profile. Each time, I check the "Set as default profile" box but the dialog box comes-up anyway the next time I choose Send To|Mail Recipient with this box unchecked.

I have checked Control Panel -> Mail (see Image2.jpg) and it does show that the single profile I have is always used by Outlook.

Does any of you have any idea what is going on? Semms to me that some registry key is missing somewhere because if is not saving the state of the "Set as default profile" checkbox.

Many thanks for your help.

Patrick

Which version of Office? ... and have you tried customising things from within outlook or its prf file?

Lots of likely links from a bit of googling (http://www.google.com/search?q=save+default+profile+outlook)

Hello all

I fixed my problem. Here is how I did it.

1) Using regedit, I browsed to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command
2) I added /Profile Profile to the end of the only string value there where Profile is the name of the profile I want to use.

This works fine but does mean that Outlook will always use the same profile. This is not a problem as I only have a single profile.

Regards

Patrick
