Add MAILTO in context menu

By default, windows gave Mail recipient in Send To context menu, but unless you have mail program installed (that can open it using MAPI protocol/link) it's useless.
I am using default Microsoft Mail app. Which works on MAILTO protocol/links.

I'd like to add MAILTO in my Send To context menu, so that I can send any file from my desktop as attachment in email using Microsoft Mail app in Win 8. So how can I do that ??

Also I did something with my context menu (trying to add MAILTO option) and I can't see Mail recipient option in there anymore. So please also mention how to restore that one.

Thank You!

Thanks for reply Brink.

With the suggested links I restored my Send to -> Mail recipient option.

With "explorer mailto:" system opens new mail window. But WITHOUT file attached to mail.
That's my point. I want to send file(s) in attachment in new mail using Microsoft Mail App using Send to in context menu.
Send to -> Mail recipient uses MAPI protocol, that is not supported by Microsoft Mail App. (Mail App only supports MAILTO)

I need some kind of file or registry value or something that can attach file in new mail using Microsoft Mail App.
Which I can trigger from Send To context menu.

Thank You!

Yeah, the default "Email recipient" option is the only one that I know of that will do this. :(

Well, that default Email recipient option doesn't attach files as attachments in new mail in Microsoft Mail App.
I would like to do this since its not easy to navigate through files in Microsoft Mail App.
So far there is no official email app of provider that I use, and I don't trust other email apps to handle my personal emails.
Therefore I am stuck.

So I assume so far there is no way to do this.
Thanks for your efforts. :rolleyes:

Unfortunately, you would need to use a 3rd party email client program like Windows Live Mail to have the files attached using the "Email recipient" option.
