Windows Mail vs Outlook defaults in Vista

[Julie]

hello - I am new to Vista. I have recently installed office on my pc and
prefer Outlook. So I have been trying unsuccessfully to have the default be
Outlook for when you go to "mailto" protocols. I see where I can change it
in the "Default Programs" however under protocols where it lists "mail to"
and I click on change program it only shows Windows Mail or Yahoo Mail as
options and not Outlook. Please help

programs Microsoft Outlook is not listed in this screen
