How to Create a New E-mail Message to a Specified Contact's E-mail Address Shortcut

This will show you how to create a New E-Mail Message shortcut that will open the New Message window of your default email program with a specified contact's email-address already in the To field in Vista and Windows 7.

This can be handy if you have a contact that you are always sending new email messages to.
EXAMPLE: New Message window from Windows Mail with a Contact's email address

Here's How:
1. Right click on a empty area of the desktop, and click on New and Shortcut.

2. Type mailto: plus the email address you want used for the shortcut into the location area, and click on the Next button. (see screenshot below)

4. You can now Pin to Taskbar (Windows 7 only) or Pin to Start Menu this shortcut, assign a keyboard shortcut to it, or move it where you like for easy use.
That's it,
Shawn
