How to change default email?

I have windows 7 when I click a internet email link Windows Live is the default email client, but I want to change it to Yahoo mail... How do I do that?How to change default email?
Right clicking on a file, using a separate application, or sending mail from some web sites use the default email program. That is normally Outlook Express or Windows Mail. You can change it to the Yahoo mail web site.



? For Firefox 3 (There is no option for FF 2.)...



Go to Yahoo Mail and select ';options';. Then select ';Set Y! Mail as default webmail';.

This will only work for mailto links within Firefox. I know of no way to access it from outside of Firefox.



It can also be done by going to tools %26gt; options %26gt; applications. Scroll down to MAILTO and select Yahoo Mail from the dropdown menu.



? For Internet Explorer and XP (It does not work in Vista or Windows 7)



You must first download Yahoo! Toolbar from http://toolbar.yahoo.com and install it. Be sure to check the mail plug-in. Once that is done then go to the ';start'; menu and the ';internet options'; control panel. Click the “Programs” tab along the top. Click the “E-mail” pull-down menu, and select Yahoo! Mail. Click OK.

[Note: If anyone is able to set Yahoo mail as the default with IE and Vista or Windows 7 please email me with the exact steps.]
