Vista - Messenger will automatically open Windows Live Mail

Hello,

Sorry to intrude on this conversation but it seemed a likely place to ask my question as it is related.

I have a slightly different situation. I don't have WLMail installed. When I select 'E-mail inbox' from the WL Messenger icon it opens Internet Explorer and loads my Live e-mail page.

Is there any way of getting this to open Outlook instead?

Peter

Greetings,

Messenger will automatically open Windows Live Mail if you are signed into the same Windows
Live ID there.

To stop signing in on Live Mail, open up Windows Live Mail, press the Alt key on the keyboard
to bring up the menu bar, choose the Tools menu, then Options, then Connection tab and click
'Stop signing in'.

Messenger not opening Outlook
I have Outlook as my email program, but Messenger wants to open WLM every
time I click on the mail icon in the main window of Windows Live Messenger.
How do I get it to open Outlook 2007?
