I have Outlook 2003 and have been using it for years now. I am having
problems with sending e-mails such as photos or say an e-mal reply to Craigs
list for example with out my computer automatically using WLM I really only
want to use Outlook, but this interference is causing me some problems...Help
please.

P.S. I do have Outlook set as my default e-mail program..so I do not know
whay my computer chooses WLM over Outlook.

Windows Live Mail didn't come with Vista, and can be uninstalled.

It is standard in vista, but you can try
start menu, control panel, add/remove programs, change windows components

the sequence and names may not be totally correct but should give an idea.
I have not used vista for a while

Thanks, I tried looking for any name that might sound like WLM...even
searched for it in the search option...no luck...I was hoping to even find
WLM so I can go to the options there and see if that can fix it. UGH this is
frustrating! Thanks for all of your willingness to help guide me on this...I
do appreciate it so much!

I'm guessing you are mistaken. You are using Windows Mail NOT Windows LIVE
Mail.
Windows Mail is the one that is part of the OS. If you don't like it you can
download and install Windows LIVE Mail.

Hi Kelly,
Start Menu>Control Panel(classic view)>Programs and Features. You can
uninstall from there.
Hope this helps.

Oh my goodness, YES I made a mistake it is Windows Mail not Windows Live
Mail...I am so sorry for that! Ok so why would they make it part of the OS
and make it difficult to disable if you choose to use something else?!?!

I don't think I would "mess" with that one if you'r not sure what will
happen, I don't know. Wait for someone who "knows"! to respond.

P.S. I do know you can change your default email provider.

I forgive you. :-)
You can't disable it because IT IS part of the OS.
Once you've installed WLM you just choose it as your default email program.
