Windows 10 SendTo becomes Share



Windows 10 'Right Click/Send To' doesn't work with the Mail app that windows 10 provides.

Bad Internet Advice: download Live Essentials

The internet is recommending downloading the old 'Live Essentials'.
(https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-other_settings/windows-10-send-to-mail-recipient-error/)
Live Essentials has not received support or security updates since January 2017. Please don't do this.

Send a file with  Mail

To use the 'Modern' Mail app to send a file,
  1. Right click on the file
  2. Choose share instead of send to
  3. Choose the mail app.
This won't help with other applications like your scanner that want to use the 'registered email client'. To do this,  download a real email program.

To use sendto, add a full fledged mail app


emClient 
http://www.emclient.com/ 
A modern looking email program with a free license for personal use.

Thunderbird
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ 
An aged looking but functional  free open source email program.

I would assume this issue is due to it being a Windows Universal Windows Platform app instead of a legacy mail program.

Windows 10 Preview - Initial Impressions


Because...me. I am who I am, I installed the Windows 10 Preview

IE Spartan Browser with Confusing User Agent String on Bing

Overview

Installed the Windows 10 Preview on HP DM1 Netbook.

Downloaded file to add the option to Windows Update, 

Update was about 2.8G and took about 3 hours. Kudos to the MS team, it was smooth and uneventful


Initial Impressions:


Windows 10 certainly seems to be a step down in appearance,  Comparing W7 with W10, W7 seems polished. W10 uses continues blocks and childish colors like W8 did.

W10 is laggy thus far, with the menu and menu options, and the search options not always responding right away. Perhaps that's preview software for you.

So far all my software and drivers work, with the exception of the ATI startup app.

Feedback


I love the feedback mechanisms.When I chose Internet Explorer as my default browser, W10 asked me why.

I didn't know what to do with my screenshot, so I posted to OneNote, but couldn't export, so I sent feedback. As I typed in my complaint/suggesting, it brought up similar issues.
