This is a repeat of a post in the XP forum, so please disregard if you have already read that one...thank you!
How do I change the sytem default E-mail client in XP?
Basically, while at work I would like to be able to click on a "mailto:" link and have it launch Groupwise 5.5 instead of any version of Outlook.

Hi there. Usually once u install Groupwise 5.5.x on XP it should take over as the default client. You might have to upgrade ur groupwise to the latest SP. Otherwise u can try to go to the Internet Options (through the control panel or right mouse clicking on IE) and click on the "Programs" Tab. The second line should be for E-Mail and you should be able to choose GroupWise in the drop-down box. In earlier version of Groupwise 5.5 you had to make sure that Groupwise was the MAPI profile for Windows Messaging and then the drop-down box would show Windows Messenging instead.
If it is not showing up like I said you might wanna make sure that you are using the Enhancement Pack for Groupwise.

Search Novell's site. They have explicit instructions on setting up either IE or Netscape to launch GW as the default mailer. Just can't right off the top of my head say where it is. If I have a chance later I will look in my notes.
