Here's a fix: Open Registry Editor (type regedit in start menu). Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes branch. Check if mailto key is present and has a string value of URL Protocol attached. Note: keys are alphabetically sorted, so first there are the ones prefixed with a dot (file extensions), look for mailto farther down. If HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\mailto key is not missing in your registry, then the cause of your problem is somewhere else, try uninstalling IE10 (Programs and Fetures -> View installed updates -> locate IE10 and uninstall). EDIT: see comments - there's a solution even if mailto is present. If HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\mailto is missing as it was in my case, you have to restore it. In parent branch (Classes) right click, select New -> Key, name it mailto. In this new key create a string value (right click, New -> String value), give it name URL Protocol and you're done. Close regedit and see if it worked.		Research Links Media Lab Overview LIACS Homepage MM Conf ACM Multimedia ACM ICMR IAPR ICPR Science Direct IEEE Library LIACS Publications ACM Digital Library
