1129571 2010-08-19 11:47:00 Hi,Ive got a acer aspire and it has 4 quick launch buttons(E,mail,internet and P)
The internet one opens mozilla firefox but the other ones dont do anything.
I would like the mail button to open Gmail.
I have changed from vista to xp pro.Any ideas welcome..

1129572 2010-08-19 11:51:00 Have you installed a program for Gmail? I would say, it would have to be a program. NOT the website Speedy Gonzales (78)
1129573 2010-08-19 12:02:00 No,not sure ,I just downloaded and installed off google nzace (6057)
1129574 2010-08-19 12:06:00 Checked my "add/remove programs" and there is no Gmail listed nzace (6057)
1129575 2010-08-19 12:07:00 If you lets you add an exe file, add that exe file, if you've installed it. So what was the name of the file you downloaded? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1129576 2010-08-19 12:12:00 So to clarify I woud assume you now have a Gmail Email address and you want to make this the default Email. What ISP are you with and I hope you realise that you can forward Emails to your current ISP Email account. Other than that GMail is web based which would mean you have to use a browser like IE, FireFox or whatever. Snorkbox (15764)

1129579 2010-08-19 12:23:00 Because its Web based , i have to open firefox before i can open Email,Is that what you are saying? nzace (6057)
1129580 2010-08-19 12:23:00 Thats it, because its a website the quicklaunch buttons wont work. Quicklaunch needs a program, not a website to work. Thunderbird works, because its a program, not a website Speedy Gonzales (78)
