I have set up Google Chrome as my default email application in my [Windows 10> Settings> System> Default apps] (screenshot). My keyboard has the shortcut Fn+F2 which opens default email application, this works well if for example I use built in “Mail” app or some other app specially designed for this sort of thing but I want to open Gmail in my Chrome browser, problem is when I press the shortcut combination on the keyboard it simply opens Chrome with its homepage.
I need to find out where in Windows registry email default app is stored so I can adjust the link to open with the page I want it to but I can’t find it, there is so many different locations. This is the link I want to use which should work: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -- "https://mail.google.com"
Please let me know where Windows 10 stores its default email app in its registry?
Solution is valid, works flawlessly, why negative arrows? Some nasty people are on this site... – Manny Calavera – 2016-04-20T09:42:17.920
Your question is good, people would come across it here often, the same as I did.
Your answer, which you accepted, is helpful too. The problem here is, it's not the answer to that question.
Function of the HW button and the default e-mail app are two separate things, and have two different settings in registry.
That's probably the reason people are down-voting your answer. This is simply not valid answer to the question, even though it's working for you. There is no nastiness. Why should? Read my answer for further explanation. – papo – 2016-08-30T05:06:58.307
