My computer shows 5 email programs in the INTERNET PROPERTIES/Internet
Programs tab. My fiance's only shows 3 and none of them are Yahoo!

Can anyone help me? He has a newer "Dell" than I do by about 2 years.
Could it be that I have the Windows Professional and he has Windows XP HOME
Edition?

If so, is there a way to get "Yahoo! Mail" added into the Internet
Properties/Internet Programs tab? I've tried looking around in updates but
can't find anything.

I want to "add" it to the Internet Program Tab because when he responds to
someone and/or wants to "send email" from other programs, his OUTLOOK comes
open (which neither of us uses). With mine, when I "send email" from other
programs, it defaults to my Yahoo! He wants the same.

I figured that if the Internet Program Tab says Yahoo!Mail, then his would
default to Yahoo, instead of Outlook. This area of computers/Internet is
foggy to me.

Thanks ahead of time for any help.

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer this question. I haven't tried
it yet but I have saved the explanation and will try it on my fiance's
computer asap. I also wrote Yahoo! Maybe the more of us that write
them....maybe they'll notice??!! Thanks again.
