How to add desktop file and send with mail.com

To add a desktop file and send it via Mail.com, you'll need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Create a desktop file

A desktop file is a simple text file that contains information about the file, such as its name, icon, and location. You can create a desktop file using a text editor like Notepad or TextEdit.

Here's an example of what a desktop file might look like:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=My Desktop File
Comment=A sample desktop file
Icon=/path/to/icon.png
Exec=/path/to/executable
Terminal=false

Replace /path/to/icon.png and /path/to/executable with the actual paths to your icon and executable files.

Step 2: Save the desktop file

Save the desktop file with a .desktop extension, for example, mydesktopfile.desktop.

Step 3: Convert the desktop file to a ZIP archive

To send the desktop file via email, you'll need to convert it to a ZIP archive. You can use a tool like 7-Zip or WinZip to create a ZIP archive from your desktop file.

Step 4: Attach the ZIP archive to an email

Open your email client (e.g., Mail.com) and compose a new email. Attach the ZIP archive containing your desktop file to the email.

Step 5: Send the email

Send the email to the recipient. When they receive the email and extract the ZIP archive, they should be able to run the desktop file by double-clicking on it.

Here's an example of how to attach a ZIP archive to an email using Mail.com:

  1. Log in to your Mail.com account and compose a new email.
  2. Click on the "Attach file" button.
  3. Select the ZIP archive containing your desktop file.
  4. Click "Open" to attach the file to the email.
  5. Enter the recipient's email address and any other required information.
  6. Click "Send" to send the email.

That's it! The recipient should be able to run the desktop file by extracting the ZIP archive and double-clicking on the desktop file.
