Can't use zip 7 to zip and send files. Keep getting error message


There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install a program or if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel. There is no mail program in the default programs control panel. There's no file to associate with it.

I'm getting very frustrated. I have school files that need to be emailed and I can't figure this zip7 out Any help would be appreciated.

Hi CB01, Thank you for your question. I understand that you need to set up a default mail program to mail zip 7 files.

In the Control Panel of your operating system there are file extensions that you can set a default program to use for mailing.

In order to add a mailto option in FirefoxApplications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files
