Setting Domino Web Access to default

Hi folks,

First off I apologise for my complete lack of knowledge regarding Notes.

I look after the desktops across our company and we have introduced iNotes to a number of users. They only use iNotes and I need to set this to be their default mail within Internet Explorer.

I have created a registry key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\iNotes)

and added keys (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\iNotes\Protocols\mailto\shell\open\command)

and entries

rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler http://fileserver/mail/name.nsf

to allow for mailing etc…

Problem is when user clicks on a mailto link on a website iNotes will load up but not opening “New Memo” and populating the “To” field.

I have tried various ProtocolHandlers and get varing results. OpenInboxHandler is missing in url.dll and others result in nothing happening.

Does iNotes have it’s own specific DLL (Like hotmail, gmail, etc…)? Or has anyone other fixes/fudges?

Many regards

Found a link to setting this Domino Web Acces Release 7.0.1 which references a DLL called dwa7W.dll

http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd6forum.nsf/d202cf70fecca50b852569ff00736545/d861153cc542ab05852571fd00282f9e?OpenDocument

Does anyone know if and where I can get a similar DLL for release 6.5.5

I notice that when I load Web Access 6.5.5 it installed the ActiveX control for the mail and installs a file called iNotes6 Class in C:\Winnt\Downloaded Program Files

Any help much appreciated.

I keep answering my own questions!!

Found the DLL (inotes6w.dll funny enough!) and now created registry entries. Problem I now have with MailTo is when the link is hit on a website a new Internet Explorer window fires up but does not go to iNotes as expected. The URL is tries to goto is

http:///($Drafts)/$new/?EditDocument&Form=h_PageUI&PresetFields=h_EditAction;h_New,s_NotesForm;Memo,SendTo;someone@somewhere.com

Registry key created is

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Lotus webmail\Protocols\mailto\shell\open\command

with entry as

rundll32.exe C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\iNotes6W.dll,MailToProtocolHandler %1

Anyone? I’ve flown by the seat of my pants up till this point but think I’ve hit the wall!

Cheers

Once again I answer my question!! But I still haven’t the end result I crave!

I have worked out that if I manually insert DominoServerName/mail/a/usermailbox.nsf between the /// at the beginning of the URL as posted earlier then it will do as I wish.

I have no idea of the syntax within the registry key though to get this info added automatically. I have tried various options…

rundll32.exe C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\iNotes6W.dll, MailToProtocolHandler %l

rundll32.exe C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\iNotes6W.dll, MailToProtocolHandler %l DominoServerName/mail/a/usermailbox.nsf

rundll32.exe C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\iNotes6W.dll, DominoServerName/mail/a/usermailbox.nsf MailToProtocolHandler %l

And so on. With quotes. Without quotes. Etc…

Can some kind soul please put me out of my misery. :slight_smile:
