How do I add Microsofts Internet Mail or Internet News to a WinU desktop?
These are odd because they call CLSIDs (“Class IDs”) in the Registry, not actual executable programs. To run them, create a WinU button that will run your existing shortcut to Mail or News. To do this, start WinU and go into Setup Mode. Open Windows Explorer (available in the Setup pull-down menu if you have not hidden the WinU menu bar with a Kiosk Mode option). In your Windows directory, change to the Start Menu directory. Change to the Programs directory which is under the Start Menu directory. In the Programs directory there should be a shortcut to Internet News or Internet Mail. You can drag-and-drop this shortcut onto any WinU desktop and a new button will appear. Or if you prefer, you can drag-and-drop this shortcut into the Buttons tab of WinU’s Desk Setup dialog and add it that way. Or you can look at the shortcut’s Properties to see what it’s running and set that as WinU’s File To Run and Parameters.
