There are a handful of people I communicate with by
e-mail a half-dozen times a day. Each time I want to send them a note
I have to set up a new e-mail and either click for their address or
type it in. There has to be a better, faster way.
There is, and it’s just as easy to set up. On any
blank space on your desktop, right-click and click on New,
Shortcut, which produces the Create Shortcut screen. If
I’m going to be the recipient of all those e-mails, type
mailto:stanley.joatech@gmail.com (see screenshot below).
If you want the e-mail to include a subject line and a cc address,
just add a ? and an & like this:
mailto:stanley.joatech@gmail.com?subject=Help%&cc=rrosen@aicpa.org
And here is what the Outlook address line looks like:
You may also want to customize the icon for the
shortcut by clicking on Properties. And if you really want to
get techie, you can create a shortcut key (see screenshots at right
and below).
