Running PCPlus 11.1 and Windows 7. My email client is Windows Live Mail, but I have Outlook installed (not used, and never configured.) When I try to send an individual message through PC, he wants me to configure Outlook, but I want Live Mail to handle it. How can I tell PC that Live Mail is my desired default email client?

I know that in v11.5, I can have Thunderbird setup as my default email client on my Windows 7 laptop, and PCPlus will use it as the email client.

If Live Mail is setup as your default client on Windows 7, it should be used. However, I'm not sure if that was a change from 11.1 to 11.5 or not.

I would check to make sure that Live Mail is setup for all defaults. On the Windows taskbar, click the START button (the Windows Logo). Look for the link Default Programs on the right of the start bar that appears. Click on that, then click on the first link on the page Set Your Default Programs.

Click on Live Mail in the list that is displayed, it will then give you the option to set the Default Program. There are two buttons at the bottom you can use to see if it does have all defaults.

If it does have Live Mail as default for the MAILTO selection, then the change happened in version 11.5. and you'll have to upgrade to get that functionality.

That did it. I set LiveMail as default, and PowerChurch went straight to it to send mail. Thanks.

Glad to be of assistance
