Selecting Contact first, then e-mail defaults to Outlook

[Dawn Driggers]

We have Outlook, which my husband uses as his primary e-mail client, but the
kids and I all use Windows Mail so that our individual e-mails are kept
separate from each other. I prefer to be able to select my contact first,
then new e-mail message. When I do this, however, it defaults to Outlook
rather than to Windows Mail. Since I'm not set up in Outlook, I can't send
from there. How do I get it to default to Windows Mail? I've searched the
help menus, but haven't been able to find what I need there.

OK, I've gone to control panel and made the changes there. Will my
husband's e-mail still default to Outlook (as it should)?

Does he have a separate user account/login to the computer? If he does, his
default should still be Outlook.

You can only have one default email program per Windows user.

Hal,

It did. Thanks. We were hoping it wouldn't make a global (all users)
change, and it didn't.
