When I click an e-mail link in my Web browser, it opens another e-mail program instead of Windows Mail.

This means that another program is set as the default e-mail program. If you want the message to open in Windows Mail instead, you need to set Windows Mail as the default e-mail program.

To set Windows Mail as the default e-mail program:

  1. Open Windows Mail.

  2. From the Tools menu, click Options.

  3. Next to This application is NOT the default Mail handler, click Make Default. If the Make Default button is not available, then Windows Mail is already set as your default e-mail program.
