How can I change my "default" email program to Yahoo?

Where can i find an old Yahoo email program so i can add Yahoo to my default email with VISTA?

  • I found it before when i first started using the VISTA OS, now i cant seem to find, when i try to email people it goes to a windows emaildefault not Yahoo, i downloaded Yahoo Tool BAr , that didnt do it either. I dont want to pay for the Upgrade. Anyone have a location for that old Yahoo Email program?

  • Answer:

    The tiny program that allows you to select Yahoo! Mail as the default email application for your PC is included as part of Yahoo! Toolbar version 7.2 and up for Internet Explorer (not Firefox). Here’s how to set your PC to open Yahoo! Mail when you click an email link on a web page. 1. From the “Start” pop-up menu in the lower left corner of your desktop, select “Settings” > “Control Panel”. 2. In the Control Panel, select “Internet Options”. This opens the “Internet Properties” window. 3. Click the “Programs” tab along the top. 4. Click the “E-mail” pull-down menu, and select Yahoo! Mail. 5. Click OK. Done! Yahoo! Toolbar v.7.2 and above for Internet Explorer (not Firefox) is the download that adds Yahoo! Mail to your PC's list of email programs to choose from. But after you've chosen Yahoo! Mail as your PC's default email application, Yahoo! Mail will open when you click an email link in any browser.
