Good morning,
Is there a way to set default applications via registry editor/command line? Looking to set Outlook as the default mail application via a script so that "mailto" works as intended for our users.
Thanks!

Welcome to our forum!
Looks like your issue is related to script and development, please kindly understand that the Outlook tag here we mainly focus on general issues about Outlook desktop client. And based on my research, i found a thread about set Outlook as default mail app via GPO: Default Mail App w/ Group Policy. It's suggested that you could try the steps in it.
Hope to help you!
