GMail Start Menu Shortcut ViStart Edition (Updated 09-25-2007)

WARNING: May cause false virus positive with some AV's

MD5: 452AC399E974C88C7701429DC12CA86C

Info: Both are now Uninstallable, if you don't use ViStart then I suggest you use the Original edition

If you want Google Mail set as your default mail client on 1st login, you may edit the following line in GMail.inf (remove the ";" semicolon)

;HKCU,"%MAIL%",,0,"%GMAIL%"

Hey Rick,

Well i installed this but it doesnt show up where its supposed to, is there any way to show up elsewhere like desktop or control pannel or just in the regular start -> All program (listings)

I think somewhere in nLite i have done something so it wont show..

Hoping you can help

ScOOt3r!

HMMM its supposed to show up at first boot in the place of outlook

Try right clicking on a blank space on the start menu and going into properties, now choose Customize and make sure the E-Mail box is checked and in the drop down menu tell me if you see Google Mail

Ok well good thing, yes i see it when i do that, but when i check the box and press apply it reverts to a blank check box... hmmm..

scOOt3r!

Ok i got it working now, thanks Rick, this makes things easier:

FYI, i had to redo my settings in nLite for it to work, seems as if i blocked one of the settings.

ScOOt3r!

hey rick, any chance you could re-upload this?

For some reason it does not work with ViStart... The icon does not show.

:icon_question: Thanks Rick and yup it shows no Icon in ViStart. Any chance to fix this :icon_question:

Rick if I start Gmail from ViStart I get following error message :crying_anim02:

WTF are you talking about?... NOTHING! is wrong with rundll32, its ViStart that doesn't know how to handle it.

Here is a Uninstaller if you want to fully get rid of it... Just Right Click on the INF and choose Install (yes INSTALL)

Obsolete...

Hey Rick calm down. Why you saying WTF ??? Fixed the problem with the rundll32.exe :icon_rolleyes:

Updated... Now compatible with ViStart.

Thanks to JurgedDoe (for helping with the idea) and Kelsenellenelvian (for showing me how to use QuickBFC)

a-squared Free version shows the Gmail.exe file as a trojan.

Arg!!!... Thats probably because I used Quick Batch File converter to make a simple exe from a batch file, the reason is to make it compatible with ViStart.

Its a FALSE positive, but you can use the original if you want to use it still.

Its only a .ico file and some reg entries.

Updating now

Updated... Added original edition back and updated both to now be uninstallable.
