We have Exchange Server 2003 at the head office (no control over it). My users all use Oulook Web Access. My goal is to change the mailto: shortcut on all websites to point to Outlook Web Access instead of Outlook Express. I am almost successful but there is one drawback. The Outlook Web Access new message comes up with the email including the mailto: part of the link. Therefore it won't send. Here is what I have done so far. This is the path I use: "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" https://myexchange.com/?cmd=new&mailtoaddr=%1 Added this path to the 3 Registry Entries HKLM-Software-Clients-Mail-Outlook Express-Protocols-Shell-open-command HKClasses-Root-Mailto-shell-Open-command HKClasses-Root-Microsoft Internet Mail Message - shell-open-command It works. When I click on the Link it opens the Outlook Webmail and asks me to login. When I login I get a new message filling the entire screen BUT the email address says mailto:myemail@myemail.com I have searched everwhere for a location where Microsoft actually LISTS all the parameters that are valid to pass with Microsoft Exchange. However, I haven't found any document that contains all of them. I am wondering if there is another one I could use where it would remove the mailto: or if I could script it somehow? I am so close to accomplishing this. Thanks Lara

Wow, thanks. Now I just have to convince my server guy to change that .js file. That is great.
