I use Google's Gmail Notifier client. It doesn't have to run in the background, I'm guessing it just uses a registry edit like most users mess with to set mailto. In XP it works just as it should (install, set mailto to enabled) but in Windows 7 you have to open the program, disable the mailto support, then reopen the program with "run as administrator" and re-enable mailto support. After that you don't have to run the notifier program; mailto should work.
