E-Mailing jpgs from Windows Explorer
Tue, 15 Apr 2008 12:47:54 -050
TB 2.0.0.12 under XP Home

This has me puzzled.  If I highlight a jpg when I'm in Windows Explorer 
and click on "E-Mail this file", usually a new COMPOSE pane comes up
in 
TB, with my selected jpg already attached.

Suddenly today, doing this action opens a COMPOSE pane in MS OUTLOOK, 
not TB.

TB is selected as Default E-Mail Program.

On my other two lap-top machines (one XP, one Vista), the "E-Mail this 
file" brigs up a TB window, as expected.

But on this desktop pc, today Outlook seems to be default, but *only* 
for e-mailing jpgs!  Of course, I can email them via TB by using the TB 
ATTACH option.  But why have I suddenly lost the ability to send a jpg 
I'm looking at in Windows Explorer via TB?

Y'know, with Windows, MS is the real owner of your computer.  MS just 
noticed you were trying to use a non-MS email client, and took 
corrective measures.  On your behalf, of course -- MS is only thinking 
about what's good for the renter.  :)

Heh.  I doubt that it's possible for me (or any of us) to think of a 
nefarious scheme that MS hasn't already considered and/or implemented.  :)
