Mailto links to point to GMail

Hi all
I found a few websites that advice you on how to change opera's mailto links to point to gmail (and make gmail the default email handler), but I am unable to add gmail to the webmailproviders.ini file as suggested by them. The files opens fine in notepad, but once I add the code for gmail, it refuses to save it to the file and gives me an "access denied" error. Any suggestions or workarounds?

No problem here...
Did you close opera before editing the webmailproviders.ini file?

If you are using vista or 7 then you must open these files in an application lunched with admin rights. Or you must change permissions for these files. The same applies to every file in windows/program files folders.
