Windows Mail as Default

[Pravda]

I bought a new PC recently that came with Vista Home Premium. I used
Windows Mail for all my email but then purchased Office Pro 2007, which has
Outlook 2007. The problem I have is when I click on an email link in my
browser (or anywhere else) and it wants to load Outlook for the "send to"
email I want to compose. How do I change the default settings so that
Windows Mail will be my email default for everything and not Outlook?
Thanks.
