I am having difficulty resetting Windows Mail. I want to start off with a clean new version of the program. I have already exported the messages and contacts to a safe place on my desktop. I am at the point where I need to get into regedit and locate Windows Mail and delete it. I get to that point and I get the following message: Cannot delete Windows Mail. Error while deleting key. I have played with privlidges, ownership, log in as administrator, safe mode with no success. I currently have ownership and have full privlidges. I will be glad to supply more details if needed.
My problems with WM occurred about a month ago. What I was attempting to do was start off with a fresh copy of Vista with SP's and important updates installed. I got that done. Then I wanted to get WM messages and contacts from my backup (physically seperate but in same tower so I can boot from either or) HD transfered into my main HD. I couldn't seem to get the export/import approach to work, so I just cut and pasted. Well, some messages made it all the way and others didn't. Also, now whenever I log into WM, a new recovered message folder appears in my local folder.
I plan to in the next day or so of going to Live Mail. It definitely sounds good. I just want to make sure that I can import my messages and contacts that are now on my main HD's desktop. If I can't, I am steering towards trying to get the messages and contacts imported from the desktop and into WM. Then, when I am confident that I got a good transfer, is when I plan on going to Live Mail. It sure would be easier to go to Live Mail right now!
