You realize that ControlPanel/InternetOptions is Microsoft speak for MSIE don't you? There are several other browsers available that have far less potential for being exploited by evil doers. In WinXP, I changed the following registry values via Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options -> File Types -> URL:Mailto Protocol. It should be the same in any Win32 platform. I don't think the parts under ...\ddeexec\ have any effect, but you will definitely want to change the DDE section so it is inactive or at least doesn't refer to another email program. ======== [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\DefaultIcon] @="C:\\Program Files\\Mahogany\\M.exe,11" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files\\Mahogany\\M.exe\" \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\ddeexec\Application] @="M" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\ddeexec\Topic] @="System" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\mailto\DefaultIcon] @="C:\\Program Files\\Mahogany\\M.exe,11" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\mailto\shell\open\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files\\Mahogany\\M.exe\" \"%1\"" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\mailto\shell\open\ddeexec\Application] @="M" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\mailto\shell\open\ddeexec\Topic] @="System" ======== That is all I needed since I am browsing with Opera and it uses the mailto: class to find the default email program. If you must continue to use MSIE, you can probably add Mahogany to the list of available email clients under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\. -- Mac :}) ** I normally forward private questions to the appropriate mail list. ** Ask Smarter: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Give a hobbit a fish and he eats fish for a day.
