What version of Windows are you using?

In XP, my URL Mailto file association has

"C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Mail\wlmail.exe" /mailurl:%1

Normally you shouldn't have to manually update the file association.
Just make WLM the default mail program.

- In Windows Live Mail (WLM) check at Tools, Options, General and make
it the default if it isn't already.

- In Internet Explorer Explorer at Tools, Internet Options, Programs
make sure that WLM is the default e-mail program

- Also, in Windows XP: Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Set Program
Access and Defaults, Custom, Email and select WLM.

- Also, In Vista: Control Panel, Programs, Default Programs, Set Program
Access and Computer defaults.

it the default if it isn't already.
