As I need to send emails to certain persons for business
purpose daily, I prefer to create shortcuts for those email addresses on my
desktop. If you don’t know how to make shortcut for an email, then follow these
steps:
1. Go to your desktop and right-click on an empty space and from the drop-down
menu select New>Shortcut.
2. Under the Type the location of the item, enter
mailto:<eamil address>
For example
mailto:John@gmail.com
3. Click on the Next and give a name for your email shortcut,
then hit the Finish button.
4. Now your email shortcut is ready. If you double click the
shortcut it will be open by your system default mail service (Microsoft Office
Outlook or Windows Live Mail).
For selecting the Windows default mail service
go to
Control Panel>Programs>Default Programs>Set your default
programs
and from the right side of the window, choose the default program for your email service.
