Re: Set Program Access & Computer Defaults?
This is from the Forte Agent help file that I downloaded:
"/
Configuring Agent as the Default Email and News Program
You can define Agent as the newsgroup and/or email
application to be used by Windows whenever you launch a URL
To configure Agent as the default email and/or news program,
use any of the following:
In Agent, select Options from the Tools menu to bring up the
Options dialog and select the Default Program Settings
panel. Select the options for Email, Usenet News and NZB
files as appropriate.
In Windows 2000, the Add/Remove Programs tool has a Set
Program Access and Defaults section, where you can choose
the default programs for various activities. Agent now
appears on the list of choices for the default email
program. If you choose Agent, it puts itself on the Start
menu and makes itself the mailto: URL handler.
Windows XP has a Set Program Access and Default option on
the Start menu. This runs the Add/Remove Program dialog
with the defaults section pre-selected. Agent appears in
the "Custom" category, which you can see by expanding that
category. Everything else works the same as described above
for Windows 2000.
In Windows Vista, the Default Programs tool has the same
Access and Default section as described above. It also has
a whole new Default Programs section where you can see a
list of programs that are available as defaults for the
Start menu, URLs, and file types. From this list you can
choose which programs should be the defaults for the various
functions.
On the Internet Explorer Internet Options dialog, Programs
panel, you can select which programs are the defaults for
various services. Agent appears as a choice for the Email
and Newsgroups services. If you make Agent the default
email service, it designates itself as the email program
that appears on the Start menu (above), and configures
itself as the handler for mailto: URLs. If you make Agent
the default newsgroups service, it configures itself as the
handler for the NNTP and News URLs.

Please let me know how you solve this problem, sorry that
I could not.
Good luck!
