Problem with changing default email program

I have a problem with changing the default email program.
When trying to automatically send an email, e.g. via PDF Creator, the message keeps trying to send via the eM Client program, which is not even installed.
I changed the default email client in  Windows - it did not help
I also changed it in the registry editor in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\Clients\Mail - also no changes

    Sometimes, applications register themselves as defaults even if uninstalled. Try to uninstall eM Client completely (using its uninstaller or via Control Panel). Use a registry cleaner or default app fixer tools like Windows Repair or C1eaner to clear lingering associations
