Hi Nathan and Sara

Outlook may sometimes make itself the default email program when i
updates. Make sure that you have this unchecked in Outlook

1. Click Tools, then Option
2. Click on the "Other" ta
3. Uncheck "Make Outlook the default.....
4. Click OK

To make Windows Mail your default email program, just make sure it ha
all of it's default associations set to it. Just repeat this if Outloo
decides it is the default again. You can see how here

Hope this helps you

Click Start, select Default Programs
Click Set program access and computer defaults
Click Custom, and select Windows Mail
Click OK

Then, follow these steps:

Click Set your default programs
Select your mail client from the list
Click Set this program as default
Click OK
