Nov 07, 2017  Hey, i have tried the included email app that is integrated into windows 10 and today i tryed with another one called eM Mail Client. Allthough, the in the Default programs setting itțs changed to whatever email app i whant to use, i cannot rightclick a file>send to>email. A popup window appears that tells me that i have to select the email app in the Default Programs. In order to find out what the default email client is, I found the same information over and over again: Look at the default string in HKLM Software Clients Mail. (see for example this related question). However, this seems not to be true for all OSs and/or situations: I have two machines running Win7 64bit, let's call them A and B.

I have Thunderbird Portable installed in my DropBox folder. This way I have access to my email no matter if I'm using my desktop at home or my netbook on the road. Any time there's a situation where you 'click here to send an email', Windows 7 thinks I want to use Outlook. I don't want to use Outlook, I want to use Thunderbird. How can I get Windows 7 to understand this? Because of the installation location (I think -??? ), Windows is not listing Thunderbird on the list of applications available to set as the default email program.

Basically, what you ask is impossible by design: because no data is written in the registry, it is impossible for Windows to register that you have Thunderbird Portable and to use it. However, there are two workarounds: 1. Install Thunderbird 'non-portable' on your computers and set it as your default program.

That way, e-mail links in other programs (Firefox Portable or non-portable, Word, PDF.) will be made toward Thunderbird rather than Outlook. And here is the catch: if Thunderbird Portable is already open when you click on a link, your computer won't try to open the non-portable version but will rather send the e-mail link to Thunderbird Portable. That's basically the way I work. I think there is a beta version of a program that does software association.

Maybe someone could point you to it. The answer is much simpler than what other have posted here. All you have to do is just click on Tools > Options then the Advanced Tab Under the 'System Integration' section there is a checkbox for setting Thunderbird as your default email client. To the right of that is a button labeled 'Check Now'. Click that button and a window will popup asking you what you want to set Thunderbird as default program for. Click the 'email' checkbox and then the 'Set as Default' button at the bottom of the window. Your portable Thunderbird will now be the default mail program.

Note that the drive letter you are currently using Thunderbird on will also be saved so you want to use a permanent drive letter for your Thunderbird drive. ' RE: Make Thunderbird Portable default email program on Windows 7 The answer is much simpler than what other have posted here.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for posting, just what I needed. I know this is an older thread, but a good one I found when googling the issue. I have 3 installs of TB portable on my local/os HD, one for private emails, one for work, one for public old email addresses. And Windows wants to keep using Outlook, and via the normal windows management, no way to get the TB portable as the default for mailto. Once this is done as noted above, doesn't matter which TB portable I'm in, the mailto no opens a fresh email from that opened TB portable.

Never thought to try those options for some reason. Thanks for posting.

Hello, I am trying to find a way to make Outlook 2010 (32bit) the default email client for Windows 7 (x64) automatically. This doesn't seem to be an easy thing to do. I have gone into the registry and set 'HKLM/SOFTWARE/Clients/Mai l' and set the Default value to 'Microsoft Outlook' but this did not help.

I also set this registry key: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT mailto shell open command] @=' 'C: PROGRA~2 MICROS~ 1 Office1 4 OUTLOOK.EXE ' -c IPM.Note /m '%1 ' But, neither of these changes make Outlook my default program for Windows 7. This is as far as I have gotten in trying to figure out how to make Outlook 2010 (32bit) the default email program for Windows 7 (x64). I am not sure what to try next.
