How to enable an internet page to be sent in email

[Renee]

Hi, I have a new computer, windows 7. I have I.E. When I am at a website
that I want to put into an email, I can't.
When I click on 'page' on screen, the 'send link by email, and 'send page by
email' they are not enabled and don't work. Is there a way to enable that?
I've searched and searched. thank you.

Problem: The Send Page By E-mail and Send Link By E-mail options in IE's
Page menu aren't available.

Solution: IE has to know your preferred email client before it can offer
Send Page and Send Link options. Open Internet Options in the Tools menu and
select the Programs tab. Click the Set Programs button in the Internet
Programs section. Select Set Your Default Programs from the resulting dialog
box and highlight Windows Mail (or your desired email client). Choose the
Set This Program As Default option.
