| | Can't make Windows Mail my default e-mail handler I've tried using Control Panel where I can't find Windows Mail as an option for default e-mail handler. Tried changing by accessing Properties from Windows Mail but when I change to "Make this the defalut e-mail handler, apply and save then exit and return to Properties the setting has returned to Not the default e-mail handler. I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium. Note: Control panel does show Windows mail as being the Default Newsgroup handler. Thanks |
