I have made a little email program to be used in our network. Anyone know how can i make the little program the default email program so everyone that clicks in a email address this little program would run.
I know you can go to options then programs, but my question is how can i add my little program to that list so it becomes the default one

thanks

I recommend having a backup of the registry before continuing.
To change your default mail program:
Click the Start button.
Click Run.
In the Open field type regedit and click ok.
Once you are there, navigate your way to the following folder:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command

From there, double click on the (Default) icon.
In the Value Data field, type the path of the program you want as the new default.
Before clicking OK, type %1 after the path. IT should look something like this:
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\mail.exe %1

Simply substitute the path for your machine, click OK and restart Windows.
