Is it possible to have Yahoo as my default email? Right now it seems that
Outlook Express is, but I'd like to change that. I looked in the programs
tab in *internet options*, but it only gives Hotmail and Netzero (I have
Netzero on this computer is a backup dialup) as alternatives. It seems to me
that I've seen that on someone else's computer before.
 
Try this: Open OE then Open Yahoo Mail and read some messages then Close Yahoo Mail.
Go to IE > Tools > Internet Options > Programs Tab > click the Down Arrow head & find it.
Answer your appropriate YES & NO answer whenever OE or Yahoo Mail ask you later.

HTH,
-Rino

I /believe/ that option is available when you install the latest version of
Yahoo Messenger. YMMV.
