IE 10 - Mail To Issue - Might Help Someone

[mac_shinobi]

Got an issue where by I believe after the installation of IE 10, it breaks the Mail To functionality as the URL Protocol Registry key and possibly other sub keys are missing and are not correct.

Patch / Resolution is to re add the URL Protocol registry key which can be done something like so :

 

reg ADD "HKLM\Software\Classes\mailto" /f /v "URL Protocol" /t REG_SZ /d ""
