none of these work in win7(x64). reg file is not allowed to write to registry when tried to execute. it warns that it should be a binary file otherwise access denied.

Of course remember to chage “F:\\poczta” to your ThunderbirdPortable path.

doesn’t work with the send to menu in windows 7.

only way i found was to install TB, set as default and tell it to use my portable TB profile.

this works well for both thunderbird and FF

is your default program for that extension windows registry? You have to open the .reg file with windows registry or it wont work..

I just gave this a shot. Everything works great, except the MAPI section. This appears to not work properly. If when I execute an email function in my application that, it can’t find a MAPI compliant email program. If I install standard TB it works just fine. There must be another registry key around for MAPI. Have any ideas?
