IIRC in XP it's C:\Documents and Settings\user\SendTo

Hi all,

How can I change the standard mail program in Windows 8.1?

In setting 'change standard protokoll' I only can choose between the defaults 'MAIL' and 'MS-MAIL' or 'search APP in Windows Store'.

Pegasus doesn't show up anywhere.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance,

daniel

 As I am not comfortable about giving you instructions on how to update the registry, I suggest you go to the Pegasus Mail executables directory (eg: c:\programs\pmail   NOT c:\program files\pmail) and there you should find a program called SetPMdefault.exe.

Run this program, and it will add the necessary entries to your registry. Once you have run this program, go to Windows Explorer, right click on any file, and then select menu "Send to..."  You should see a list of email capable clients (including Pegasus Mail).   You should also already have run WsSetup.exe from the ssame directory, as part of the installation of Pegasus Mail on Windows 8 to make Pegasus Mail the default mailer for your system.

Windows 8.1 offers an easy way to set the default Email program:

Control Panel -> Default Programs -> Set your default programs

Select Pegasus Mail from the list on the left

Choose "Select this program as default"

That should do it.

Also:

In Pegasus go to:

Tools -> Options -> Incoming Mail -> Hyperlinks

Press the "System Mailer" button to activate the right-click Mailto option

Follow these steps if you would like to add Pegasus Mail as a "send to" option in the right click context menu.  This works for Win7 so I assume it will work for Win8* as well though you might first want to verify the location of the SendTo folder shown in the first step.

• Navigate to %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo with Windows Explorer or whatever it is called these days (C:\users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo)

• Add a shortcut to wsendto.exe which is located in the Pegasus Mail executables folder  (default location is c:\pmail\programs\wsendto.exe)
