Found this problem afta a vista reinstal windows mail had vanished, the link was in my programs menu but the link led to nowhere. found this simple fix.
When you open Default Programs applet, and click Set your default programs link, Windows Mail may be missing from the list of programs.
To reinstate Windows Mail entry to the default programs listing, follow these steps:
* Download mailclients.reg from the Attachments section below, and save to Desktop
* Right-click mailclients.reg and choose Merge
* If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation
* Click Yes to continue.

problem sorted
We all love a bit of complaining about Microsoft and then they went out and made sure we’d bitch, by allowing 32bit and 64bit .NET apps with a plugin to IIS, and then not allow them to run concurrently.
The trap I’ve fallen in to is that I am suffering with the amazing Service Unavailable screen on my OWA. The event log is screaming at me with W3SVC-WP errors:
ISAPI Filter ‘C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\\aspnet_filter.dll’ could not be loaded due to a configuration problem. The current configuration only supports loading images built for a AMD64 processor architecture. The data field contains the error number. To learn more about this issue, including how to troubleshooting this kind of processor architecture mismatch error, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=29349.

Okay, so we know this sucks. Finding the info to fix can be a little tricky so here, fire up a cmd shell and run these 2 lines:
cscript %SYSTEMDRIVE%\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 0
%SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
The first line allows 64bit only, the second reinstalls asp .NET.
Go take a look at your OWA or Exchange web services and they should be back to normal.
ReadyBoost
ReadyBoost has been called a “gimmick” by many because they misunderstand what it’s supposed to do (see links below). For systems with less than 3GB of RAM, I’ll tell you here and now you can increase the responsiveness of Vista by taking advantage of it.
ReadyBoost is not:
- a replacement for an adequate amount of system memory
- a replacement for the page file (it works in tandem with it)
How Do You Use It?
Open up Computer > right-click on the drive that you want to use and choose Properties > click the ReadyBoost tab > click Use this device > optionally choose how much of the device to use.
tip – Use a USB port in the back of your computer. Yep, I broke a drive sticking out of the front when I bumped into it (dooh!)
ReadyBoost Spec’s & FAQ
Type of drive – USB 2.0 flash drive (often called a thumb drive) or SD card. See: Grant Gibson’s ReadyBoost Compatibility List – http://www.grantgibson.co.uk/misc/readyboost/
Space needed – min. 256 MB, max 4 GB (because ReadyBoost can compact this data this can yield up to 512 MB and 8 GB respectively)
recommended, ratio 1:1 to 2.5:1 (2 GB RAM would be 2 GB – 4 GB of flash drive)
How many drives can I use? – One (man, I would love to see someone come up with a way to RAID a couple of drives for this!)
Security risk? – No, the data is encrypted.
As a result, you’re unable to create System Restore Points or configure System Restore.
Resolution
This happens if the Turn off Configuration Policy is enabled in your system, either using Group Policy or through registry edit. For standalone Windows Vista systems, use these steps:
Using the Group Policy Editor
If your edition of Windows Vista includes the Group Policy Editor snap-in (gpedit.msc), follow these steps:
1. Click Start, type gpedit.msc and press ENTER
2. Go to the following branch:
Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates | System | System Restore
3. Double-click Turn off Configuration and set it to Not configured.
Note: If the above setting is already set to Not configured, set it to Enabled and click Apply. Then revert back the setting to Not configured, and click Apply, OK.
4. Exit the Group Policy Editor.
Using the Registry Editor
1. Click Start, type regedit.exe and press ENTER
2. Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ SystemRestore
3. In the right-pane, delete the value named DisableConfig
4. Exit the Registry Editor.
Registry Fix
To automate the above setting, download srpol-clear.reg and save to Desktop. Right-click on the file and choose Merge.
More Information
If you set the Turn of configuration option to Enabled, the option to configure System Restore on the Configuration Interface disappears. If the Turn off Configuration setting is disabled, the configuration interface is still visible, but all System Restore configuration defaults are enforced, and the Create button is grayed out. If you set it to Not configured, the configuration interface for System Restore remains, and the user has the ability to configure System Restore.
