Email is probably one of the things that most people use their computer for, whether it is for business or pleasure. So when you want to compose and email what do you do? Open up Outlook (if that’s your mail client), and more than likely click the New button. This opens the Untitled Message window where you can begin composing your message.

You can place a shortcut on your desktop top so when you want to send an email, you don’t actually have to open up Outlook first. All you have you do is double click the shortcut and the Untitled Message window will appear. To create the shortcut, right click your desktop, point to New, and click Shortcut. Type in Mailto: and click Next. Type in a name for the shortcut (for example, composing mail) and click Finish. A shortcut will now appear on your desktop. Simply double click it and you can begin composing your message.
