Make Windows Mail default

I recently installed both Vista Home Premium and Office 2007. I first
configured my Vista's Windows Mail account which set it as my default mail
handler. I then opened Outlook (from Office 2007) and was forced to
configure another e-mail account before I could access any of Outlook's
other features, i.e. calendar, tasks, contacts, etc. Now I want to reset
Windows Mail as my default. How/Where do I do that?

Re: Make Windows Mail default




And another way would be to righ-click the start orb, choose properties and
customize start menu.
Bottom of that page lets you do it.
