Instructions
Hi Shea and all.
Let me investigate. The file location looks correct.
Go to program files and highlight the windows mail folder. press enter to go
in to it, then go in to tools.
go to folder options then to the view tab.
arrow through the list of options to show hidden files and folders off and
press space to turn it on.
Then click ok, that should bring up all the files in the windows mail
folder. There should be a file in there called winmail.exe.
Press backspace to get out of the folder, then press applications on the
windows mail folder and click take ownership. This should grant you
ownership of all files in the windows mail folder.
What version of windows 7 are you using? Try creating your shortcut again
and let me know if the file can be found. If not, we may have to investigate
further, it may be that files are missing? We may as well continue
troubleshooting on list in case anyone else has similar issues.
Please let me know if the above makes a difference. sometimes the atrib
command doesn't change the folder from hidden hense my instructions above to
do it manually.
all the best,
Mo.
