Vista Forums - View Single Post - How do I stop Windows Mail from being the default mail handler?

wayne87 · 05-10-2008

I have a laptop with Windows Vista. I used to use Windows Mail as my e-mail client, but I recently installed Office 2007 and am now using Outlook. I have gone to Default Programs, and Outlook is set as the default mail handler for all mail functions. But when I click on a mailto link from my browser, Windows Mail still launches. How can I change this?
