I have been using the following code (suggested by someone on an MSDN forum) to determine if a default mail client has been configured:RegistryKey hkey = Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey( "mailto\\shell\\open\\command", false);hkey will be null if there is no such client.

RegistryKey hkey = Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey(
                   "mailto\\shell\\open\\command", false);
