I just upgraded my computer from win 98 to win ME. When I had win 98 - Yahoo was listed under tools,internet options,programs,email. Also listed there is Outlook Express & Hotmail. Now after upgrading Yahoo is gone from that listing. I only can choose from Outlook Express or Hotmail. I don't know how to get Yahoo back. I have the Yahoo toolbar installed but there is nothing listed in there about how to make Yahoo your default email provider. THANKS

To make Yahoo! Mail the default email application for your computer, click Tools > Internet Options > Programs tab > under E-mail click the down arrow and select Yahoo! Mail > click Apply. If Yahoo! Mail isn't listed as a default email option follow the directions below and it will solve your problem.
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 application 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 / Vista
Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher

I think you should have stayed with 98 if you couldn't go to XP.. That said.. You should be able to go to your providers site and log in to your web mail at the provider.. Once logged in there you should be able to set it to have all of your mail auto forwarded to your Yahoo mailbox instead of downloading to Outlook Express.

On the Internet, just go to Yahoo homepage and click on "sign up". And fill in the necessary details they're asking.
