Hi...
I had installed a small utility in Windows 7 (64 bit) many years ago that would let me click on any link using any web browser and I would be directed to my web based gemail account. That utility did not survive the update to windows 10. It is long gone - I tried to look for a windows 10 update but the found nothing.
Can someone direct me to a web site where I can learn how to make my gmail account pop up when ever I click on a link in my three browsers? (Firefox, Chrome and the new IE).
Thanks in advance.

I don't know of a particular program, but I do know that if you open up Gmail in Chrome it will ask if you would like to make Gmail in Chrome the default handler for e-mail. Once that is setup, it will always open up mailto links in Gmail in Chrome. I have mine set that way and I just tried opening a mailto link in Firefox and it opened up my Gmail in Chrome.
