Re: uninstall Windows Mail   

Partiallly true,, but even if one never uses it it still presents itself in 
some cases.

I got all the defaults set to OUTLOOK and even some regedit's and still at 
times WINDOWS MAIL still pops up..  most often vie IE pull ups of mailto.

Despite the fact that I even got the mailto going to OUTLOOK.

Im on the verge of writing a program that will effectively do the same as a 
shortcut and actually point to OUTLOOK itself... 

Tried a shortcut ...but the exe still gets called up instead.
Though I havfent yet tried a  compiled shortcut.
