How do you keep Notes from being started for mailto URLs?

How do you keep Notes from being started for mailto URLs?

This applies only to Windows95 and Windows NT.

First, in your Notes.INI file add the setting

  NotDefaultMailto=1

This will prevent Notes from making itself the default mailto URL handler in the future (Notes 4.61 had a bug where it always set Notes as the mailto handler each time Notes was started).

The difficult part is restoring the previous value for this setting in the registry. You can do this by :
1. Re-installing your mail client.
or
2. In your NOTES.INI there should be a setting OldRegKey_MAILTO this should contain the previous setting for the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command. Using regedit, you can
restore the previous value. ONLY USE THIS METHOD IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH USING THE REGEDIT UTILITY.
