[Web4lib] Disabling mailto: links on webpages for public computers

[Kozlowski,Brendon]

Ever since I can remember, the mailto: hyperlink on webpages has been a bane to public, shared computer use. We are not going to configure our computers and server to enable proper use of these links, but because of that, very few patrons know how to configure this themselves (nor do we encourage them to try). But...in my research to try to figure out how to disable this functionality, I have come up short.



Has anyone tried to remove this Windows OS "feature" successfully (without resultant side-effects) on their library's public machines?
