AOL WebMail and Windows Default Mail option

I am trying to create a Windows XP registry entry to allow AOL WebMail (not AOL Desktop Mail) to be the default mail and appear on the Start Menu. I've gotten the basics done but I'm having trouble with the parameters for "MAILTO" links; I can't find how to open AOL WebMail straight to the COMPOSE page with the mailto email address populated from the link (registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\AOL Webmail\Protocols\mailto).

Anyone got any ideas?

That gets me about 98% of the way there. Thanks. Only thing missing is that the "to=" portion doesn't seem to populate the "TO" field. Is there something else that needs to go there (%1, for example)?

Don't know how windows handles variables and what you could put there. Obviously the email address needs to be appended to the to= parameter. But how Windows does this (maybe via %1?) is beyond my knowledge. Maybe check how other registry key values for other mail programs are stored and where the email address goes?

I'd already tried several variations of the %1 parameter as well as several other parameters I found in registry entries prior to your latest post. None have worked so far. Still working on it though, and your first post was a tremendous help. Maybe someone from AOL's development team will see this and chime in with the remainder.

 Thanks again.
