how to add action to file type
Hello,
Having trouble with my URL:mailto protocol. When i go to Folder Options/File Types and select URL:mailto, then select advanced to change, the file type box opens but there is nothing in the actions area. I select 'new' and create an 'open' cmd with MS Outlook as the program to open, then click OK but the data doesn't seem to be saved as it is blank again when i click "advanced' again. Any advice appreciated, thanks, jimmy |

Any advice appreciated, thanks, jimmy Open Start Menu, click "Set program access and defaults", and change the default program. Close, open again, and select Outlook again. Also try this: Send To Mail Recipient option does nothing http://windowsxp.mvps.org/sendtomail.htm -- Joe =o) |
