default mail handler

01-08-2008

How do I set Windows Mail to be my default mail handler? When I go to
Tools/Options/general, the 'Make Default' buton is shaded (locked in). Any
help? thanx

Open the Default Programs applet, which you can access either from
the Start menu or via the Control Panel, then click the first item:
"Set your default programs."
After a few seconds, a list of programs comes up. Click on Windows Mail.
If it doesn't respond with "This program has all its defaults" then fix it by
clicking on the option indicated by the first green arrow.
