1. Add the following to a .reg file
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\OWA]
@="Outlook Web Access"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\OWA\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe\" http://server/exchange/alias/"2. Import it into the registry by double-clicking the .reg file (Please know that mucking with the registry is potentially dangerous and can make your system unstable).
3. Boot IE
4. Go to IE's Tools / Options... Programs tab
5. Choose “Outlook Web Access” from the E-mail dropdown.
6. Hit OK.
Now when you hit the “Mail” button on your MS keyboard you get OWA coming up automatically. You can also add OWA to the Start Menu now, just right+click on it and choose Properties, then click the Customize start menu and choose “Outlook Web Access” from the E-mail dropdown.
