How do I make Yahoo my default email on Windows XP?

How do i make yahoo my default email over outlook express?

  • I have Windows XP and cannot over-ride my outlook express to make Yahoo my default email

  • Answer:

    To make Yahoo! Mail the default email application for your computer, click Tools > Internet Options > Programs tab > under E-mail click the down arrow and select Yahoo! Mail > click Apply. If Yahoo! Mail isn't listed as a default email option follow the directions below and it will solve your problem. Using Internet Explorer just click "Continue" on the link below to download a small 60K file that will enable Yahoo! Mail to be the default email application for your computer. Whenever you click on an email address on any web page or in any computer program, Yahoo! Mail will open for you in a new window. If Internet Explorer displays a yellow security bar at the top, click on it and select Install ActiveX Control from the menu. If a security warning comes up with Yahoo! Inc. as the publisher, click Install. Now you can click on an email address anywhere and your computer will automatically open up Yahoo! Mail for you. You can even send documents directly from Word, Excel, or other Windows applications. Requirements: Windows 95 / 98 / ME / NT / 2000 / XP / Vista Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher http://help.yahoo.com/help/uk/mail/ext/ext-11.html

The solution is simple: Go to Internet Options then click on the Programs tab and choose Yahoo mail in the "Email" field (you will see Outlook Express as your default at this time). You will find Internet Options in your browser in "Tools" or by accessing the Control Panel.
