| Guest | default email client There is a tug of war running constantly on my computer. The new Live Mail is my chosen client for my Hotmail account; I have a different preferred client for my Verizon account. I have set Windows Live Mail to "not default," but it keeps trying to take control of .eml files from my preferred client. (WinPatrol informs me of this attempted switch.) Is there a way to tell Live Mail to lay off? |

become irreversible defaulted to WLM. The most horrible thing is even after you un-install WLM, the default still persists and all these .eml files cannot be opened by any other client by default. | ||||||||||||

| Guest | Re: default email client Thanks for the responses. I am operating on XP Service Pack 2. I did set the default through Programs under Internet Options. It sounds as though the reason I can still use my preferred client is that WinPatrol alerts me to the change and allows me to reject it. Still, one can hope.... Anyone have further ideas?

| Guest | Re: default email client FYI...removal of WLM in Vista should restore Vista Windows Mail as the default *.eml handler, as does changing defaults for the *.eml file in Vista's Set Program Access and Defaults to WM. -- ...winston ms-mvp windows live mail "Lunwen" <lunwen.zhang@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:98a86372-7b14-4fa8-9cbf-d7a9ab266183@xxxxxx
