I am using mailto to start the users default mail program, and all was well, until I tested it on my wifes PC (Windows 7). The program blew up on the process start. I have since try-caught it.
So my question is; Is there a way to start something besides Outlook as he email program, or even know what the user uses as email? Maybe I shouldn't try to automate this, just give the To:, Subj: and leave it up to them?
The email clients are stored under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Clients\Mail (at least on XP - don't know about Windows 7)
I have a piece of VB6 code that returns the default email, I'll rewrite it and test it for VB.NET
What I am finding, at least with another problem, is that maybe Windows 7 is different. I have XP and found a solution to the slow startup of the default browser. But it only works on my XP machine.
I will try any thing you post. And thanks.
