How can I stop mailto: and address links to a mail e-mail program open

Hello.   I would like mailto: address of the opening to the top of ANY e-mail program.   I understand that I can open up Internet Options/Properties and choose another e-mail program from the list of 'Programmes', but what happens if I don't want no matter what e-mail program?   Is it possible to make this parameter empty, or does not work?   I clicked on the email addresses in so many different programs than having Outlook; / Hotmail/Gmail (according to what has been defined) opens up, and I really want to stop this...

Thank you.

You can access this registry key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command

and delete the default value.

    Hi UKuser7,

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forum.

    Automatic logon is disabled in Windows 7 by default for security reasons. If it is enabled, anyone who can physically access the computer can also gain access to everything on the computer, including the networks that it is connected.

    This setting is only recommended for cases where the computer is physically secure.

    To set up Windows 7 to connect to the desktop automatically, follow the steps below.

    1) click Start , and then enter the following command in the start search box:

    Netplwiz

    2) press ENTER.

    This opens the Advanced user accounts Control Panel window.

    (3) in the users tab, uncheck the box next to users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.

    4) click apply at the bottom of the user accounts window.

    (5) when the newspaper automatically on the dialog box appears, enter the user name for which you want to automatically connect to Windows 7. Then enter your password in the two areas where it is requested.

    6) click on the OK button.

    7) click OK in the window user accounts to complete the process.

    Thereafter, your PC at startup, Windows 7 will be automatically connect.

    Ticket back for your comments and concerns.

  • How can I stop auto refreshing a web page in XP immediately after its opening?

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of your modules is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Modules > themes).
    See the extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common troubleshooting Firefox problems and troubleshooting questions with plugins like Flash or Java to solve common Firefox problems

    If this does not work in safe mode and then disable all your extensions and then try to find out who is causing by allowing both the problem reappears.
    You can use 'Disable all add-ons' on the start safe mode window.
    You will need to close and restart Firefox after each change through "file > exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

    Hello

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I'll certainly try and help you fix the issue; However, I will need to ask you a few questions.

    1. what version of IE are you using?

    2 do you have of them pack installed?

    3. do you have an antivirus installed on the computer?

    4. do you also deal with any show related to problems with the computer?

    5. are you aware of any changes made to the computer before the show?

    First of all, you can run a full scan using the Microsoft Safety Scanner.

    Note: there is a risk of data loss if all the files are infected and which can be removed in the cleaning process.

    You can then try to launch the FIXIT of the article and see if it helps. Also go through the steps in this article as well and check it out.

    If you try the manual steps, do not forget to back up the registry.
