| Guest | How do I stop Windows Mail from being the default mail handler inVista? 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? |

IF Microsoft Outlook is not automatically set as the Default E-mail client from within Outlook after being installed, do this: Part #1. 1) Open Outlook. 2) Click on "Tools" in MenuBar. 3) Click on "Options" from list. 4) Click on "Other" tab. 5) Make sure a check-mark is beside "Make Outlook the default client for E-mail, Contacts, and Calendar." 6) Click on "Apply", then "Ok". If you do Part #1 and Outlook still doesn't show up on the Start Menu, Do Part #2 also. Part #2. 1) Right-click on the Start Menu Orb. 2) Choose "Properties" from the popup menu. 3) Click on the "Start Menu" tab. 4) Make sure the "Start Menu" radio button is selected. 5) Click on the "Customize" button. 6) At the bottom of the page, under "Show on Start Menu", make sure you have "Microsoft Outlook" selected from the drop-down menu for "E-mail links". 7) Click on "Apply", then "Ok". If neither works, you may have to reinstall Office, or uninstall your other email clients.
