Answer 1

This is what you need to do. Just follow the directions below and it will solve your problem.

Teach your computer to use Yahoo! Mail.
Using Internet Explorer just click "Continue" on the link below to download a small 60K file that will enable Yahoo! Mail to be the default email program for your computer. Whenever you click on an email address on any web page or in any computer program, Yahoo! Mail will open for you in a new window.

If Internet Explorer displays a yellow security bar at the top, click on it and select Install ActiveX Control from the menu.
If a security warning comes up with Yahoo! Inc. as the publisher, click Install.

Now you can click on an email address anywhere and your computer will automatically open up Yahoo! Mail for you.
You can even send documents directly from Word, Excel, or other Windows applications.

Requirements:
• Windows 95 / 98 / ME / NT / 2000 / XP
• Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher

Answer 4

actually if you use IE (internet explorer) you should be able to change Yahoo Mail to your default email system if you go to the tools option at the top of your browser and select Internet options.
just view through the tabs and you'll be able to see the area where you can change your defaults, I think its the 2nd to last tab.
