Simple enough ... what's the best way to launch the default email client using autoit?

Thanks in advanced 'n Happy Turkeyday!

Hi, Wellcome to the forum!

what's the best way to launch the default email client using autoit?

ShellExecute("mailto:myemail@gmail.com")

Actually ... I want it to just launch the email client. Don't want it to goto the compose screen or anything like that.

Basically I want it go straight to the Indox. (which is generally the default place email clients go when you run them).

Any idea?

Tried using the registry but couldn't find a key with the exe path for the default email client.

Any other ideas out there?

(Like I said, I want to launch the main program ... not Compose or any other windows)

See key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail

I want to launch the main program

Try this:

Run(GetDefMailClient())

Func GetDefMailClient()
    Local $Old_Opt_EES = Opt("ExpandEnvStrings", 1)
    Local $ReadDefMailClient = RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail", "")
    Local $ReadCommand = RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\" & $ReadDefMailClient & "\shell\open\command", "")
    Opt("ExpandEnvStrings", $Old_Opt_EES)
    Return $ReadCommand
EndFunc
