change default

I have two computers, one if i click on an e-mail address it will
automaticaly open yahoo mail and all i do is log in and send my e-mail. My
other one goes to windows mail (which is not set-up, cuz i only use my yahoo
acct.). I can't remember how i changed my laptop to go directly to yahoo.
Does anyone know how to do this?

Re: change default

Install the current version of Yahoo Toolbar on the other computer and
enable the "Make Yahoo Mail default" option.

Re: change default

I assume the computer where it works properly is Windows XP.
Yahoo released a successful fix for making Yahoo Mail the default
email on Windows XP, but it doesn't work on Vista.
There are a couple of published fixes for Vista, but I don't know
how well they work:
