I'm a non-techie oldie bravely launched into Windows 8 but upset to find there is no button I can find above web pages to send a link or a page to a mail recipient.

I found this very useful in XP - is there some fix please? This is very important for me. Thanks muchly!

I just right click somewhere on the page & click on E-mail with Windows Live but yours could say Outlook or whatever your mail program is.

Hello skysurfer, and welcome to Eight Forums.

In addition, you could also turn on the Command Bar in IE10 (desktop mode), then add the "Send page by e-mail..." and "Send link by e-mail..." buttons to the command bar.

Hope this helps, :)

Hi PC Rat, When I right click that option isn't on my list. How do I put it there?
Brink - Shawn - sounds like exactly what I want but I don't know how to get there and turn on the command bar.
Could you tell me stroke by stroke what exactly I do to get there.
I'm not sure whether I have IE10
Thanks so much both of you for trying to help me.
At least now I know there is a solution if I can get there!

Hi Shawn, I have now found the command bar as you suggest and now have a Page button! But when I click on it the 'send link by email' button is greyed out.
I can't work out how to get to the second window you pictured which activates the 'send link' button.....

What email client program do you have installed and set as your default program?

The tutorial below can show you more on how to get to the "Customize Toolbar" dialog to add the "Send page by e-mail..." and "Send link by e-mail..." buttons to the command bar.

Thanks for the above Brink. I have Windows Live Mail installed if that's what you mean.

Is the Command Bar at the top with a home house symbol, a printer symbol, page, safety and tools?
If so and I follow the tutorial and right click on an empty area, I don't have a 'customise' option. I have 'menu bar'; favorites bar;command bar; status bar, lock the toolbars and 'show tabs on a separate row'.
The favourite bar, command bar abd lock the toolbars options are the ones checked/ticked.

Yep, that's the one.

You would want to right click on (red dot in screenshot below) an empty area just to the right on the command bar itself to see the "Customize" option.

It's still not there! I have tried to send a screen shot but when I go to the icon where it says Insert Image and click it - everything goes grey and I have no idea what to do next. I hate computers!
Thanks for trying to help - I think I'll have to give up and take up knitting!
I have the guy who fixed up the compie coming tomorrow - maybe he can help.
But thank you kindly for trying so hard.

It's hopeless because when I click on the little square just above here, everything goes greyed out and nothing works - everything's frozen.
But maybe it doesn't matter anyway because all the screenshot showed was the same menu you showed me except without the 'customise' option.
Unless somebody can work out why it's not there on my computer I can't see us getting anywhere - sadly....

Be sure that you are right clicking on an empty area to the direct right on the command bar just after the last icon on it.

If you like, to make it easier, uncheck (turn off) the Favorites bar until you have the Command Bar customized how you like.

Hi Brink
I can't find an empty area to the right because the tools-safety - etc and the help button are right up against the right border.

But there is loads of clicking room to the left which is where I right clicked.

Your icons seemed to be to the left and mine are to the right.

When you have both the Favorites and Command Bar turned on, the Command Bar will be on the right instead.

You have a very tiny space between the help button icon and expansion arrow to be able to right click on.

However, if you temporarily turn off the Favorites bar, you'll be able to have more space to the right of the Command Bar to make it easier to do this.

Sorry Brink - I don't know how to turn Favourites off.
I don't even know where it is.
Are you really an alien? -:)

Have just worked out how to uncheck favourites. Now Page. Safety and Tools are at the left of the screen like yours.
Have at last found Customise.
Hang about I'll be back after playing with it

To insert screenshot from computer - Put the cursor where you want the image to appear.
Like the green face below:

Hope this helps.
Just trying to help with screenshots.
I know how frustrating such things can be.

How did that happen?
Anyway Brink I wanted to say a big thank you - AT LAST I HAVE TWO BUTTONS, ONE TO SEND A WEBPAGE AND ONE TO SEND A LINK BY EMAIL. MANY MANY THANKS AND THANKS FOR STICKING WITH ME.

I don't suppose you fancy working another miracle by telling me the secret way TO MAKE WLM GENERAL LAYOUT FONT LARGER.
I've changed the font in my outgoing mails but the email listing are so small they're straining my old eyes.
I know I can enlarge them when I read by scrolling and pushing a key I've forgotten, but it would be great to change the whole layout to something larger.
Thanks again

Thanks Medab 1. I appreciate your trouble. I have saved it - using Mail link! in case I need to send screenshot some other time.
Funny but when I tried to send the email page I got a WLM sign in box and of course it wouldn't recognise my password - so I plumped for the link instead.
Yes frustrating is the word Medab - glad somebody else has been there!!
Obliged anyway

MMMMmmmmm - I should have guessed that I can't actually link to a particular page on the forum because one has to sign in first.
The link sent me the general website but I noticed it wasn't a live link.
That doesn't matter much but I wondered if there is a way of making the links live?
