How can I make Yahoo Mail my default email program in IE8 and Windows 7?

I would rather not use MS Outlook for my email program. Is there a work around? I can set Yahoo Email as my default in Firefox so does that mean I just leave MS IE8 out in the cold?


Thanks in advance for any help.|||I recommend using the following Microsoft Support webpage which has step-by-step instructions on how you can change your default email program:

If this doesn't work then here is another website that may be of some help:

Good luck!

IE8 Outreach Team|||Neither of these links had anything to do with the question. The first talked about setting default “programs” not web sites. The second was just a link to help in Explorer and after “clicking” I found how to add Windows Live as my default but nowhere did I see the Yahoo on this page.
