Open Mail

Is there a way to set IE so that when I click on mail it opens Mail, rather
than minimize to task bar??

Try this, seen it work once or twice.

Set IE and Windows Mail to where you can see both on the screen.

Click on the Read Mail button.

Now, with Windows Mail closed, click on the Read Mail tab and see if it
opens instead of laying around on the taskbar.

Sounds too simple but has worked because of the windows state (max or min)
at the time it was originally done when OPENed. In other words, if Windows
Mail was closed minimized, it would open back that way.

Thanks for info, but did not work, any other suggestions?

Look for one of Jim Pickering's replies, I think he had a suggestion on it
as well.

Try having WinMail near maxed out (not all the way), then set the WinMail as
the default email client. (remove it then add it back because it probably
already is the default).

Control Panel | Default Programs.

If that fails, I don't know what to tell you. Whatever it is, it's going to
involve WinMail being opened but not to maximum.

Then again, it could be something totally unrelated.

Again thanks for response, but it appears Vista has a problem. I did as you
suggested and then mail would not open at all no matter what I did. Finally
had to do a system restore to previous day. I GIVE UP!!

Something in the shell I would guess. Miht check the Shell newsgroups and se
if anyone else has had problems with programs opening to the taskbar
minimized.
