Uninstalling the Google toolbar

In order to set your 'mailto handler' to be Google Chrome (so when you click an email address in Jupix, it opens Chrome), you will first need to disable or uninstall the Google toolbar in Internet Explorer if you have this installed. If you don't have this installed, please see Changing the default email client below.

Before updates to Windows and Google Chrome, the Google toolbar was required to send emails via Gmail in Jupix. This will need to be turned off in order to proceed.

1. Open Internet Explorer
2. Right click in the top toolbar and click on Google Toolbar (it should have a tick beside it)
   
   
   
   
3. You'll be asked Do you want to disable this add-on. Click Disable

Once this has been done, you need to change your default email client.

Changing the default email client

1. Click the Windows start button in the bottom left hand corner of your computer screen, and type in Default Email
2. Click Choose a default email app
