Sorry Gary, I tried.

It may work that way in Win XP...but not in Vista. The sequence of
access to the control panel...and what you see there is totally
different.

How far did you get?

Did you do the pre-requisite action of downloading and installing
Yahoo Messenger?
The path to Internet Options is left as an exercise for the reader. :-)

You can merely type Internet Options in Vista's Start Search bar, and
it will present that link for you. Or you can get there through
Internet Explorer's Tools menu.

Like I said many times last week, I had the same problem with Windows
Mail and I downloaded an update from the Microsoft download site, which
is KB 941040, installed it, rebooted my computer and everything works
perfectly for Windows Mail again. Try it, you'll see! It's part of SP1
but it's not an automatic update like for Windows Vista program.
