You can simplify sending emails to people whom you email quite often by setting up quick shortcuts. You can place these shortcuts anywhere you want, such as your Desktop or QuickLaunch bar. To create such a shortcut, simply rick-click your desktop, choose New, Shortcut. Then type mailto: yourbuddy@hisISP.com in the Command line (Windows 98 and Me) or location field (Windows 2000 and XP). Enter your pal’s e-mail address after “mailto:”. Click Next, give the shortcut a name, and place it in your Quick Launch toolbar. When you click it, your e-mail program will open a new message with your friend’s address in the To: field. Nice, quick access.
