I am having email problems. Clicking an address link on a website in Firefox attempts a startup of the Windows office suite. But the MS office program was never activated by me, so it asks me every time if I want to install it. Answer: No, every time, because I am using Zimbra as my mail handler. I want to change my email preference in Control Panel>Internet Options, but Zimbra does not come up as an option. I need to let my machine know Zimbra is there and I want it to be my email choice. So how do I add this in? Thanks one and all. Al Peterson Washington DC

Open the Registry. Go to HKLM\Software\Classes\mailto\shell\open\command and type in the location of the executable for your email program followed by /m "%1" "So won’t you give this man his wings What a shame To have to beg you to see We’re not all the same What a shame" - Shinedown

OK, its a good start. Thank you Derb, and thanks too Jennifer; I am in awe of anyone who can skip through the Registry with such confidence. The prob I have is that Zimbra Collaboration Suite has no executable per se - it is opened in a browser. I'd need to find out whatever the variable is that gets Zimbra's attention and opens up a New Message window. I'm cross-posting to the Zimbra Forum to see if they can offer additional info. You guys are great and thanks again. Al Peterson Washington DC

re: it is opened in a browser. Have you looked at the website I offered? It explains how to set up a web based email client as the default mail client. Examples given were Zimbra, Yahoo, etc. I quote: "Webmailer offers a way to remove one of the annoyances in using a web-based email service. It lets you set Zimbra (or Joyent’s webmail or Yahoo! or Roundcube or whatever) as the default email client, so that clicking on an email address opens a new message in the web-based interface of your choice." Isn't that what you are trying to do?

>>>Have you looked at the website I offered?<<< Yyyeah-h, I di-i-id... I just didn't understand it the first time thru. A second read made more sense. Thanx for the prod. Al Peterson Washington DC
