You’re gonna need to modify these keys to fit your enviroment: Make sure you save it, and not run it quite yet. This allows you to modify most, if not all, of you clients on a single login. The cool thing about this registry hack, as paradiag points out, is that you can set up a script to silently import this registry file upon login. It’s a little off topic, but as an admin, I found it very valuable. If not, I strongly suggest you read this tutorial. However, it does cause one small usability problem (we’ll cover that later).įor all of you administrators running a Microsoft Windows NT-based Domain, I’m sure you’re familiar with the technique of executing login scripts for your users. Since Firefox, IE, and Safari all handle the mailto URI call based upon what’s in the registry, we need to go that route. The most obvious solution for Windows users is to have a registry file that you can import. The most dominent browser and operating system is is Internet Explorer and Windows, and we really do have to play by their rules.

Most admins don’t to walk around to each PC, and install Firefox, then install the Firefox extension we talked about yesterday. I decided to set out on a journey that would last me most of the night, and this morning testing most of the different methods in Parallels.Īs I said, the largest problem with yesterday’s tutorial was that it isn’t easily scalable.
I found that there are many different ways to change the default mail handler in windows. There’s a couple of problems with my method: 1) It’s not really scalable for an admin 2) Not really applicable for Safari and Internet Explorer. We’ve had some great responses to my blog post yesterday about changing the default mailto links using Firefox. By John Holder on Novemin PowerTips – Admins
