I'm using Outlook Express for my mails, and I want to put create mail on my desktop is there a way of doing this. I hate opening Outlook Express 6 everytime I just want to send an email. Is there a way around this?

Yes, this is possible. Simply create a desktop shortcut with the command-line mentioned below. Double-clicking the shortcut should launch the "New message" window.

"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\MSIMN.EXE" /mailurl:mailto:
