How to change or add to the e-mail program uses the mailto protocol in Windows 8.

How can I change the path of a program that is used as the default e-mail program in Protocol preferences? When I click on the line for the messaging protocols, I get the following box:

I want to continue to use Foxmail, but after a relocation, it is on my C: drive. (Don't ask why is once stood on my G: drive.) The explanation is too boring). How can I change the current Protocol to change the G and C, or how can I simply add the version of the C: drive as a new Protocol?

The question is not essential, but I'm curious why Microsoft has replaced the much simpler method under Windows 7 with her bugaboo limited-option.

Thank you

Ron

Thanks, Zig - Zag...

Minutes after posting my question, it occurred to me that I could make changes to the registry, I did and who does not, so far.

Interesting on your first proposal - choose Foxmail in the list of programs that can be selected as default values - Foxmail is not among them. Nor are any other programs that you expect to be in the list, such as Photoshop, Notepad, BitTorrent, WinZip, Clipmate, and in fact most of the programs I have which are alternatives to Ms programs

    But I want other options...

    There is no all.

    Illustrator and MS-Office share not all the graphics features of construction at the file level. There is no universal edit-ability between the two.

    .. which is the best export (eps, emf, or svg), then insert a vector file into PowerPoint?

    If your Illustrator illustration is vector of 100% and contains no live effects, complex gradients, blends, etc., the first thing to try is copy > paste special > enhanced metafile.

    Otherwise, SPE may work, or you can use the pixelation in PNG. Personally, I do not consider export raster format Illustrator to be a stable workflow method, so I'd be inclined to use Photoshop as an intermediate step: Illustrator > Save As PDF > open in Photoshop > save in PNG. Just my preference.

  • How can I restart firefox with the same tabs and windows?

    How can I restart firefox with the same tabs and windows?

    It is not in the file menu or tools. I get nothing when searching for help. FF still knows how to do it, say to update extensions.

    I know that I can do by saving my session, coming out, reboot and restore the session but is there a single command to do this?

    Thank you. -David

    I have attached a screenshot showing how to select restore automatic session just above the setting of the Home Page where it says "When Firefox starts".

    With this set, you can restart Firefox manually out using the menu-

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    -and then restart Firefox.

    If you want a real reboot with a click of button, you can check something on the Add-ons site: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/

    How to select multiple messages in the messaging application in Windows RT?

    For contact:

    1) press the first mail

    (2) then drag the 2nd mail left or right a little bit.

    Repeat 2) for all other mails you want to select. You can use the same way to deselect.

    For the mouse:

    Use the ctrl and shift keys, like the Windows desktop version

    I don't know if there is a way to make the selection of the beach of 'shift' by touch only.
