Yes, the main reason why I use portable apps is to be able to use "my" applications when traveling, when I can't carry my laptop with me, but when I come back home I'd like not to have limitations, particularly if I place the same application in the same place everytime, either a USB unit or a folder. Why not? It would be perfectly possible to install Voyager with proper registry settings, on demand or running some simple external configuration utility to write the right settings in the registry. > That said, can't you edit the Mailto handler in Windows Explorer via > Tools | Folder Options | Filetypes? Because in my Windows 7 Home Premium there is no "browse" button to select a program for mailto: handler, and Voyager is not on the list of application to choose from. > And in Firefox via Tools | Options | Applications? Wait, wait... Thank you very much, one problem solved! How did I miss that? So, remaining problems: - associate mailto: url and shortcuts to Voyager, system-wide - associate .eml file so that they open in Voyager Thanks for any hint. -- Luca - e-mail: p.stevens at libero.it ________________________________________________ Current version is 6.6 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
