You're also right, we just meant different things :)
Yeah, good idea. I hadn't considered that. I don't really know much C#, but I wanted to have a go at making this little console application as a little practise, I don't mind if it gets used or not. I think it would be better if he used a mail client - of which I would also recommend Thunderbird.I not sure if your talking about using Thunderbird or just the steps for using your exe. I still think using a client that can setup Hotmail and GMail accounts and set it as the default for e-mails would be the best idea if it launches using his key but that is my opinion.
EDIT: There's the added benefit I forgot you don't need to browse to two pages, just have to put in both passwords to check mail or one if you only want to check one.
The steps for your exe is just a precaution. If the shortcut keys are using his default programs and your replacing Outlook.exe then making sure Outlook is still the default e-mail program can't hurt. The main thing is that Jerome makes sure a original Outlook.exe file exist where he places yours.
Sorry, I must be missing something here (I've never had to deal with this before as I don't have these buttons on my keyboard), but isn't Setpoint a program? I thought that perhaps a launcher could come bundled with that.I'm not sure as to why other than what I said above. As for an Outlook launcher built into the program, well theres no program/software and I would think it's unlikely it's hard coded in the keyboard to only work with Outlook, but maybe your right.
With Outlook set as my Default client and using your exe it works for me when I click a e-mail address in Firefox or change Setpoint to use it for my key or launch it from the start menu. His couldn't be hard coded, not all home users use Outlook. This would be a big mistake on Logitech's behalf.
So if he trys to click a e-mail address and your exe fails to launch we know somethings wrong with either the location, the default programs or it hard coded some way. I tested it with Firefox and IE9. He will need the client set correctly in the browsers settings though.
Thanks, I'm glad you said that :) It's easy to interpret things the wrong way when it's just text on a screen.No way, you politely address the issues you had with my post and pointed out my mistakes.
It all made perfect sense, thanks for furthering my understanding of it all!Well I hope that all makes sense, but you will need to refer to the above post for the original quotes though.
I've also edited my last post to note the invalid statement and the Option 1 line.
