Create a Windows E-mail Shortcut

Create a Windows E-mail Shortcut


  • If you have a friend, family member, or co-worker that you often e-mail, you can do so using an e-mail shortcut link on your desktop or taskbar. To create an e-mail shortcut, follow the steps below.

  • Right-click an empty space on your desktop or taskbar, and select New, then Shortcut.

  • For the location or path to the shortcut, enter mailto:friend@example.com, where "friend@example.com" is replaced with the e-mail address of your recipient.

  • Click Next, then type the name of the Shortcut. Then, click Finish.

  • Now, when this shortcut is clicked, a new e-mail window will appear with that e-mail address already typed into the To: field.

    Tip

  • If you're running Microsoft Windows 7, you can also pin this shortcut to your taskbar. If you already have your e-mail client pinned on the taskbar, right-clicking that icon shows your new pinned shortcut.
