It didn't work for me, although I haven't tried to reboot the entire PC. Do I need to do that? Any other thoughts?

I didn't have to reboot with Windows 2003 or XP.

Define it to "mail to"?

Atle — Tue, 13 Jan 2004 19:08:00 GMT

Thanks for great info!

Do you know I can configure this to use the "mail to" as well? I have perfomed your modeficaton but when I click a "mailto:kasdfaf@adflj.com" I still get Outlook Express.

Thanks

Nevermind - got it :)

Atle — Tue, 13 Jan 2004 19:16:00 GMT

Nevermind. Figured it out!

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\mailto\shell\open\command

(Default) -> set it to:
"%ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" "http://SERVER/exchange"

Hmm..

It doesn't create a new mail with the e-mail adress tho.. :(

Suggestions folks?

Atle: http://weblogs.asp.net/kclemson/archive/2003/10/13/53822.aspx describes the URL you can use to pre-fill in the address. But %1 in that registry key uses the full "Mailto:username", and OWA doesn't interpret that.... but at least it gets you a wee bit farther than just opening up the OWA window.

I did an Exchange 2000 Web form sometimes last year which pre-populates the "To:" and "Subject". It's not that hard ;-)

Problem with mailto: urls

Dumky — Tue, 03 Feb 2004 20:07:00 GMT

It's working with the Mail button on the keyboard, but mailto: urls still go to Outlook...
Any ideas?

This is what I put in to go directly to send message. The problems I am having is %username% is not transfering after logon. This gives me an error because I do not have a user named "username". Unfortunatly, I can not assign this to the client, because this is a kiosk machine and any user (25-50 people) can use this.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\mailto\shell]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\mailto\shell\open]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\mailto\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe\" %http://192.168.1.10/exchange/%username%/Drafts/?Cmd=new%"

The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE affects all users (obviously).
If you want to set OWA as default just for yourself, you'll need to change the .reg file to read:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\OWA]
@="Outlook Web Access"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\OWA\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe\" http://server/exchange/alias/"

So has anyone figured out how to get rid of the "Mailto:username" that the %1 gives you? I am so close! :-)
