Make Windows Mail default

I recently installed both Vista Home Premium and Office 2007. I first
configured my Vista's Windows Mail account which set it as my default mail
handler. I then opened Outlook (from Office 2007) and was forced to
configure another e-mail account before I could access any of Outlook's
other features, i.e. calendar, tasks, contacts, etc. Now I want to reset
Windows Mail as my default. How/Where do I do that?

Start/Default Programs or Control Panel/Default Programs

And another way would be to righ-click the start orb, choose properties and
customize start menu.
Bottom of that page lets you do it.

Hi EdC,

This will show you how to set Windows Mail as the default program
again.
