Set the default email client on a per-user basis - Windows XP
Windows XP does not provide you an option to set a per-user default
email client. One setting affects all users, machine-wide. See MS
article titled: Unable to Set Different E-Mail Programs for Different
Users
This utility allows you implement a per-user default mail client. Out
of the following three aspects, the mailto: handler can be set as
per-user default, using this utility.
- A mailto: Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).
- Programs that make Messaging Application Programming Interface
(MAPI) calls.
- The Send Page by E-Mail command in Internet Explorer.
This utility 'DefaultMail' helps you set the default email client on a
per-user basis using the method described in this site. As you learn
from that URL, only the mailto: handler is overridden. In addition,
this utility helps you register the default email client in Windows XP
New Start Menu, on a per-user basis.
Upon starting up this utility, it enumerates the list of email clients
installed in your computer. The information is taken from the registry
and populated into the list box. Once selected an item in the list box,
the 'Options' frame will be enabled and the two checkboxes are
available.
- Register the selected mail client with XP's Start Menu
- Register the selected mail client as the default (Current user
profile only)
Select the appropriate checkboxes and click 'Apply'.
Only the HKEY_CURRENT_USER setting is modified by this utility.
