Hello Nick, > this is a desktop shortcut not HTML. I made it by creating a > shortcut with "mailto:"; in the link.
I finally had some time to check. I created a desktop shortcut by right-clicking on the desktop and choosing New, Shortcut. I put "mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in the location field. I gave it a name in the following window and then clicked "Finish". The "mailto" entry was placed in the URL field of the finished shortcut. That desktop shortcut fired off the data of the default value in the following registry key: HKLM\Software\Classes\mailto\shell\open\DDEexec\Application\ The data that I show is: "thebat" (with no extension). When I changed it to "thebatx", the mailto shortcut failed to fire. It looks like that data ties into the data of the following value: HKLM\Software\Classes\Applications\TheBat.EXE\shell\FriendlyCache The data that I show is: "thebat", again with no extension. That's the only other place in the registry that I see this string. I'd advise checking both these places first to see if the data is as I've shown. I'd also advise taking the long way around creating the mailto shortcut -- do it exactly as I did. If it still doesn't work, we can take it from there. regards, Andy [Using The Bat! 1.62r under Windows 2000 Pro SP4 on a "made from scratch" P4-2.4 GHz/512 MB RAM] ________________________________________________________ http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
