Click on the blue Vista orb, then click on All Programs.
Scroll down to Windows Mail, right-click on it and select:
Pin to Start Menu. Then so the same for Internet Explorer.

Sounds like Internet Explorer and Windows Mail are not set as the default.
Click Start > Default Programs > select 'Set your default programs' > select
Internet Explorer > click 'Set this program as default'

Do the same for Windows Mail. You should be able to set them as the Default
from the Taskbar customization Properties.
