Pegasus Mail Workstation Setup

This program allows you to configure a copy of Pegasus Mail that has been installed as a shared resource (for instance, a copy installed on a file server) to run on your workstation. It creates icons and program groups, and tells Windows that Pegasus Mail is available for certain services, such as mailto: hyperlinks and the Windows "Send To" command.

Create a Pegasus Mail shortcut on the desktop  If you check this control, the setup program will create an icon on your desktop allowing you to run Pegasus Mail.

Create a Pegasus Mail 'Start menu' group  Checking this control tells the setup program to add an item called "Pegasus Mail" to your Windows "Start" menu, containing icons that will run Pegasus Mail and possibly other programs from the Pegasus Mail suite.

Set Pegasus Mail as your default mail program  If you check this control, the setup program will tell Windows that it should use Pegasus Mail as the mail program that gets invoked when you click on a mailto: link in your web browser. (Note: this option does not work for Microsoft Office, which uses different and proprietary mechanisms when selecting a mail program).

Add Pegasus Mail to the Windows "Send To" menu  Check this control if you would like Pegasus Mail to be available on the Windows Explorer "Send To" menu; this allows you to mail files simply by right-clicking them in Windows Explorer, choosing "Send To", and selecting Pegasus Mail as the destination.

Pegasus Mail Username  If you leave this field blank, Pegasus Mail will prompt you for a username each time it runs (or, if you are using Pegasus Mail's special support for Novell NetWare local area networks, it will simply run as the currently-logged-in user). If you enter a valid Pegasus Mail username here, then the program will not prompt at startup, but will automatically assume that username. Using this option is a handy way of creating multiple icons on your desktop for different users.
