Vista - Default e-mail program

Default e-mail program

I have had no success in changing the default e-mail program from Windows
Mail to Eudora. In fact, one attempt resulted in making Internet Explorer
unavailable. The Vista Help and Support suggestion does not seem to work.
Opening the "Set Program Access and Computer Defaults", then choosing
"Custom" and clicking "OK" as suggested, simply closes the box. It appears
that Vista will not let you change. Maybe it can be changed in the Registry.
Is there a solution?
