    I did most basic trouble shooting when working with someone experiencing this issue such as setting Outlook as the full default program, restarting the PC, but overall what seemed to fix all the outlook issues that were occurring was a a simple Office Repair. This is done in the control panel, programs and features, find Microsoft Office Suite, select it, hit change at the top, click repair, and do a quick repair. This should fix all issues. 

    I had unsuccessfully tried to install a newer version of Microsoft Office and got the error when trying to revert back to the original version. This did the trick, thank you!!!

    I am having the same issue.  I looked at your regedit fix, but I don't have Outlook there.  I only have Hotmail and Windows Mail.

    I am using the Send to email command from my pictures folder.  I have tried setting the default for gmail app and chrome and I have set the protocol file type setting for gmail.  

    Nothing seems to work.  I still get the same message.

    Unfortunately, I lost my notes on this matter.  I cannot remember how I fixed it.  If you could copy and paste my original note  I may be able to back track and figure it out.   My problem was I was having problems with outlook 2007, which i corrected.  I have since had to send laptop in for warranty work and have not attempted to load 2007 up again.

    Unfortunately Kim, I lost my notes on this matter.  I cannot remember how I fixed it.  If you could copy and paste my notes, I may be able to back track and figure it out.  I do know if you are using win 10 mail program (not outlook), my research has shown that you cannot send an attachment within excel, word etc, you will get that error message.  My problem was I was having problems with outlook 2007, which i corrected.  I have since had to send laptop in for warranty work and have not attempted to load 2007 up again.
