Como configuro o IE8 para abrir links mailto: via Hotmail / Cliente Windows Live Email Broswer?

Question

Eu tenho um cliente que tem o Win XP Home SP3 e o MS Office Home and Student instalados (e outra máquina com Win7 e IE8) que desejam ter links mailto: abertos no cliente de email IE8 para sua conta do hotmail?

Quando defino Opções / Programas da Internet para usar o Windows Live Email - o cliente Outlook ainda abre para cliques em links mailto:

Alguém aí conseguiu fazer isso funcionar?

    

Answer 1

Veja abaixo como fazer o que você deseja usando o Google Chrome e o Gmail. Deve ser bastante evidente como adaptar o método para trabalhar com o IE8 e o hotmail.

Torne os links mailto: abertos no Gmail no navegador Google Chrome (Windows XP e Vista)

WIndows XP

In any windows explorer window (except desktop):

• Go to Tools > Folder Options > File Types
• Near the top of the list of filetypes, click on “URL:Mailto Protocol”
• Click on “Advanced”
• With “open” highlighted, click on “Edit”

• Change the application to:

  "C:\Pathto\chrome.exe" https://mail.google.com/mail?extsrc=mailto&url=%1
  

This should all be on one line with a space between the quotation mark after the path info and the https. My path was

C:\Documents and Settings\Brendan\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

To find yours, just right click on a google Chrome shortcut (like the one in your start menu), go to “properties” and copy the “Target” field.

Windows Vista

• Open your registry editor (Type “regedit” at your start menu)
• Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command

• Edit the (Default) command from whatever it is (right click and select modify) to:

  "C:\Pathto\chrome.exe" https://mail.google.com/mail?extsrc=mailto&url=%1
  

In Vista, your path will be something like

C:\Users\Brendan\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

with “Brendan” being your username.
