I'd like to change my default email program used by Internet Explorer to cue my webmail. ls this possible?

Question

I'm using Win 98. When I click on a webpage contact eddress, it lanches Outlook, Eudora or Hotmail and I have to wait for this, then cut & paste the To address into my yahoo mail to send the email I want to send from my account. Tools/Internet Options/Programs doesn't let me enter another program such as yahoo - it restricts me to keying in OE, Eudora, or Hotmail. Does anyone know a way around this or have a link to a fix for this?

Answer 1

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 and OK. If Yahoo! Mail isn't listed as a default email option, adding one of Yahoo’s free downloads to your computer, Yahoo! Messenger, Yahoo! Music, or Yahoo! Toolbar will add Yahoo! Mail to the list of email options, and if you don't want them, uninstall them, or just follow the directions below.

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

Answer 2

I don't think it is possible, because Yahoo is a web based client, not a program.

Whoops, forgot I think that if you use the Yahoo toolbar it will change it(I don't use it so I'm not sure).
