As you don't have outlook then you won't have this option.

default mail client

Thanks for the reply. Your site is awesome! I must be confused as to exactly what is a default mail client. I try to send a document from word and it pops up "no default mail client" and the directions to install this do not work on my program, Windows 7. How do I set it up in MS Word so I can utilize the "send to email?" I joined Windows live weeks ago but I still have this problem. Thanks

you have to download and install the windows live mail

it should register itself as the default mail client if there is no other mail on the pc.

I've got a bad feeling about this.

1. Be sure the default browser is IE. Just for a test.

2. Read http://bhandler.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!1pt1v0Q4vD8jSvNS4lqdAuug!602.entry and again you see them write about OUTLOOK when integrating WORD and email.

Do you have OUTLOOK?

You can set your default e-mail program to the browser or your start menu by following this quick tutorial: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/What-happened-to-the-e-mail-and-browser-links-on-the-Start-menu.
