Hi Scott, There are a lot of MAPI entries and in different versions of Windows and for different mail clients. Probably the quick and dirty way to accomplish what you want would be to go to: *HKEY_Classes_Root\mailto\shell\open\command* because this will tell you, when there is a mailto, what client Windows will execute.
The only problem you could have here is if it is set to the default mail client that comes with windows and the person never used it but uses Internet email instead. On the other hand, if it's Outlook or something other than the default, you can assume it is being used. Even the default could be being used. But in any case this will tell you what the default is. ;-) Aloha from Hawaii, Jim Bufalini > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:use-revolution- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Scott Rossi > Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2009 12:17 PM > To: Revolution Mail List > Subject: Default Email Client on Windows? > > Anyone know where to find the default email app in the Windows > registry? > > I'm trying to address a situation where a user may not have any mail > app > installed (or simply not initialized) and I'm hoping the above entry > will be > blank or provide some indication that the user has not specified any > client > app. > > Thanks & Regards, > > Scott Rossi > Creative Director > Tactile Media, Multimedia & Design > > > > _______________________________________________ > use-revolution mailing list > [email protected] > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your > subscription preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
