  launched and it should open the database which' data is
   written in the .ndl file instead the windows opens and ask you
   to choose the application  The type of the .ndl file is shown
   as "IBM Lotus Notes Link" in the Windows file explorer, see
   attachement "screen.png".  Steps to create the  .ndl  1- Open
   your mail database in hte notes client 2- selected edit / copy
   as / application link 3- open a text editor say notespad 4-
   paste the contents of the clipboard into it 5- same it as .ndl
   file 6- double click on the file , then you need to chose the
   notes client application. Customer would like to get a
   solution so it can deploy automatically and not has to do it
   manually and choose notes client
   application  Workaround:  Root cause of the problem, a
   registry key is wrong.   After the installation the registry
   key "[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Notes.link\Shell\open\command]" has
   the value  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notes\notes.exe -defini %1"
     Which is wrong, it should be  "C:\Program Files
   (x86)\Notes\notes.exe" -defini "%1"
