Default Default email Program

Is there a way to setup windows so the default email program is a web mail
(I.e. hotmail, yahoo mail, etc)? So when you click on an email link it open
the browser and goes to (for instance) Hotmail?

You can set up WLM as a webmail only client. Just don't add a POP account.
That's kind of limiting the versatility of WLM though. My wife has 3 webmail
accounts and 2 POP accounts that show up in WLM when you start it.
Conversely, you could set up a browser so it's default homepage is the
wemail login page.

This works very well - I installed the tool bar and the plug in and then
uncheck it so I didn't have to show it.

Try a web-based site that offers e-mail, such as Yahoo, and make it your
home page.
