Creating a new e-mail shortcut on your Desktop

Colin Riddle says:
If you regularly send E-mail but don't want to keep having to launch Outlook Express, a New Message shortcut on your desktop can save you time. To create the shortcut, simply right-click an empty space on the desktop, choose New, and then select Shortcut. When the Create Shortcut wizard opens, type mailto: in the Command Line text box and click Next to proceed to the Select a Title for the Program dialog box. Here, enter a name, such as New Message, for the shortcut. Finally, click Finish. You now have a desktop shortcut with a special mail icon. Just double (or single) click this icon to immediately open an Outlook Express New Message window.
