If you have someone you e-mail on a regular basis you can create a shortcut that will open a new e-mail to that person when you click it. You can then add this shortcut icon to your desktop, quick start bar or any other place you like.
First what you need to do is right click your desktop and choose New and then Shortcut. In the dialog box type in mailto:followed by the e-mail address of the person you want to create the shortcut for (with no spaces).
Then click on Next and name your new shortcut. Then click finish. From here you can move or copy your shortcut icon wherever you like. When you double click it, it will bring up a new e-mail message with that person’s e-mail address filled in.
