John,
The settings for mail server are in Internet Explorer. Open explorer. Click  
on tools, Internet options, programs, set which mail server you want to use,  
apply and then OK. That will set your preferences.

david,
i'd really like to know the answer to that one. the  default email program on 
my computer is outlook express. i use yahoo. i always  have to punch the 
email link, which then opens an outlook express box, copy or  cut the address out 
of the box, and paste it into the yahoo mail compose box.  the dropdown menu 
selection box in control panel doesn't have yahoo as a  choice, nor a blank box 
where i can type it in. is it possible to get around  this, do you know? 
thanks. john b

Stan, I think you need to set up  Windows to recongize your e-mail
program as the  default.
