Gmail Add on 2.5.5
Slight update to the Gmail Add on as pointed out by a user there was a floor in the implementation of the options program used to specify new addresses and browsers. This is now sorted.
Thanks for your help and as always I'm open to being contacted about any of my programs for suggestions and so forth.

Tony,
I tried your application, but for some reason when I clicked on an email address from Windows nothing happened. By contrast, William Randol's GMail Icon notifier worked fine for me.

There must be some bug in your application. Just thought I'd give you a heads up. (By the way, good idea to give the user a choice of browser! Now see if you can collect a drop-down list of the currently installed browsers so the user won't have to browse. Just a thought.)
Hi Nate. My application does not catch URL clicks from within windows. This is something I am considering adding.
Cheers
Tony
Hey I like this... Just one problem when I go to open the Gmail Options from the start menu it crashes. Windows says:
"GmailDomainNameChanger has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
It doesn't effect me as I don't use my domain anymore and I only use FireFox.
Hi Ben. Thanks for your feedback, can you give me any other details of your system, what operating system you are running etc, also what version of the .Net framework are you running as I have probably used version 3 features it would be recommended to make sure you are running 3. Email me at: tonyhunter2006@gmail.com.
Cheers

I had been attempting to do this manually and my regedits were failing. I ran your program (why isn't it just a .reg file, only to copy your icon?) and it gave me the reg entires properly. Thanks for that.
I did however find one addition that I prefer, if you replace the
http://www.gmail.com
with this:
--app=https://mail.google.com/mail
at the end of the HKLM\software\clients\mail\google mail\shell\open\command default key it opens gmail as an app instead of just as another webpage in the browser. That is of course if you are using chrome, it would probably just cause an error in other browsers. Just something to consider adding as an option. Perhaps just an "Open as application" check mark that becomes active if they choose chrome as the browser.
