Toshiba laptop, WinXP. Installed a new shortcut in Start Button context menu. Have it on a Compaq laptop with XP also and it works fine. I did everything on this one I did on the other one. The shortcut is Send E-Mail. When I right click and cllci Send E-Mail I get a box saying C:\Docs and Sets\RAM\Start Menu Access Denied! I'm logged in as RAM yet it won't go into my folder. :no:ohmy.gif The command in registry is c:\program files\outlook express\msimn.exe/mailurl:. Not knowing that much about how Windows executes the command I wondered why it was denying access to my folder and not going to the command given in the registry. :}confused1.gif As I said I did the exact same thing on the other laptop and when I click on it OE compose mail window comes up. That way I don't have to open OE every time I want to send an email, especially when I'm on the net. biggrin.gif I can't understand why it works on one XP and not the other. But there is another diff I found when I tried to import the addresses into the Toshiba XP. The export on the Compaq was .csv file, but the Toshiba only listed .wab file to import. I imported is as 'other address book' and it said it imported it but I could never find it. When I tried to import it again it said it was already there, but I still couldn't find it. :realmad:surrender.gif Couldn't understand why one XP is .csv and the other is .wab?????? Weird! Hope someone here understands OE and working with the XP reg more than me. Thanks a bunch in advance for any help! :thumbupthumbsup.gif (I posted this in another forum, but realized it should be here. Don't know how to delete the other one.)

I use allvantage dialup, Winxp. Firefox is my default browser. For some reason, all of a sudden, when I bring up Firefox, the dialer won't come up. It's been working fine. I have computers with ME and 98, and have never encountered this problem. I have looked all through Firefox, which shows allvantage under Connection, and looked through the dialer, to see if there was something that had changed. Can't find anything. I'm sure this has a simple solution, but just never had to do anything to get the dialer to come up automatically. Dialer works fine when I click on it in Start. Merry Christmas to all!
