Yup -- I found "URL:MailTo Protocol" there, and searching for that term in RegEdit brought me to: `Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\mailto] @="URL:MailTo Protocol" "EditFlags"=hex:02,00,00,00 "URL Protocol"="" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\mailto\\DefaultIcon] @="\\"\\MICROS~2\\Office\\OUTLOOK.EXE\\",7" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\mailto\\shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\mailto\\shell\\open] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\mailto\\shell\\open\\command] @="\\"\\MICROS~2\\Office\\OUTLOOK.EXE\\" -c IPM.Note /m \\"%1\\""` The actual "\\shell\\open" command is probably what you are after, to change to whatever app you want to use.
