How to change your default email program?

Question:

I use Internet Explorer as my web browser. When i click on an email link from a website it pops up an Outlook Express window. The thing is that i use Hotmail and not Outlook Express! How can make Hotmail my deafult email?

Answer:

If you are using Windows Live Hotmail as your default email program, you’ll be able to set your email program quite easily:

• Open Internet Explorer
• Hit Tools then Internet Options
• Navigate to the Programs tab
• In the E-mail box select Windows Live Hotmail (or just Hotmail in previous versions).
• Click Apply and then OK
• Close your browser and open it again. You should be all set now.
