Shortcut to a new email message.
You can create a shortcut to a new email message
to a specific email address or just a blank new message. It will
open a new message window in your default email program (e.g: Outlook Express).
To do this right click an empty area on
the desktop (or wherever you want to place your shortcut), highlight New and choose Shortcut. Type mailto: and insert the
e-mail address after the colon, leaving no space (e.g:
mailto:yourfriend@example.com). Write an appropriate name for the shortcut and
click Finish.
