Start emails via shortcut

[Tekime]

This might sound simple, but it's proving to be a little more troublesome than I originally thought.

Every morning our CS dept. starts 4 emails with different subject lines. I would like to have a shortcut on each of their PC's which automatically starts each of these four emails, with subject and to lines populated. I also might want to have a web page fired up after the emails.

Seemed like I could do this with some JavaScript, but window.open("mailto[email protected]") of course opens a blank browser window first.

Does anybody know of some vbscript or anything that I can put as a shortcut on everyone's desktop which will do this?

Thanks a bunch..

right click on desktop, select New -> Shortcut. in the location box put mailto:[email protected]?subject=Subject Field Text and I think you can figure the rest out

How do you start multiple emails that way?

[muisejt]

multiple short cuts?

I personally don't see need for one shortcut to open 4 e-mails, not like they can type 4 e-mails simultaneously, or am I under estimating the CS department or am I over estimating their abilities to use a computer?

They don't just write four emails at once. They enter information into four separate emails throughout the day, each with a different subject.

You can simply create the shortcuts like muisejt described, and then write a batch file that executes them all. And then if you want, place a shortcut to that batch file in the user's startup folder, and they should be ready to rock.

Awesome, I got it working. Thanks Grizzly. I'm still surprised there isn't an easier way, I'd like to find a bit of VBScript or something that could do it all from one link. BUT, this works, and that's all that matters for now!
