Hello

I use Outlook 2007 for email. I have Windows Live Mail installed, but I
only use it occasionally, for newsgroups. I normally use Outlook Express
for newsgroups.

Clicking on new mail notifications for my Hotmail account, in Messenger,
brings up Windows Live Mail, when I would prefer it to bring up Outlook,
which is my default email client.

How can I make email notifications from Messenger open in Outlook, rather
than Windows Live Mail?

Is the only way to actually uninstall Windows Live Mail? Is there any other
way? Registry edit?

Cheers

ss.

Just a remark: Some weeks ago I installed Windows Live Messenger to try it instead of
Windows Messenger.
If I clicked the Inbox in Windows Live Messenger, Outlook 2007 was opened, just like
it did in Windows Messenger.
After this I tried and installed Windows Live mail. But now WLM was opened with WL
Messenger and not Outlook.
Then I removed Windows Live Mail again and Outlook was opened once again by clicking
the Inbox in Windows Live Mesenger.
