HKLM\SOFTWARE\Clients\Calendar and change the Default Key to"GroupWise" without quotes
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\ and change the Default Key to"GroupWise" without quotes
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\mailto\DefaultIcon and change the Default Key to "C:\Novell\GroupWise\gwmailto.exe,0" without quotes
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\mailto\shell\open\command and change the Default Key to "C:\Novell\GroupWise\gwmailto.exe /%1" without qutoes
