disable mailto

[sheila1117]

I would like to disable all "mailto" links using pwb.

Is this possible?

There are a few ways you can do this.

You can disable all the MailTo: links by removing the MailTo: association in the registry. This is done by setting the following resgistry key to blank.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command]
@=""

If you want to allow emails in a secure way, you can use a secure email client, such as the SendTo or the SendComment applications available on our Download page.

Or you can use the PWB URL filter to prevent access to MailTo: by enabling the URL filter, and denying access to "MailTo:".

Enable the URL filter:

[Security]
...
CheckURLAccess=True
...

Add this in your URL Filter file:

-mailto:

This will prevnet access to the MailTo: links.

Thanks so much! I disabled it in the registry and it works great!
