Windows Mail won't let go

I can't get Windows Mail to stop being the default mail app, instead
of Outlook 2003. Whenever I try to send a link from Firefox I get
Windows Mail instead of Outlook. None of the "Default Programs"
options seem to have any effect. I'm running a clean Install of Vista
Business.

Thanks,

Dan Garber

Open Control Panel.
Click Programs.
In the Default Programs section click Set your default programs.
