I'm not sure if having Vista would make a difference in the procedure, or not --(it shouldn't)----I guess you would just have to try it and see.

To make Yahoo the default Mail.

Click Tools%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;then click Internet Options.

In the dialog box that opens, click the "programs" tab across the top, and then, click the down arrow at the end of the Email line, and choose Yahoo Mail. Apply and OK.

If Yahoo doesn't appear on the list, as one of the choices-----(((it usually doesn't)))----you will have to download (or re-download) Messenger---all of it----and that will put Yahoo on the list.

Now go back (tools-internet options-programs) and you will able to select Yahoo---apply and ok.

Later, you can remove Messenger---if you don't want it---without affecting the setting.

Good luck! I've never been able to use Internet Explorer on my 2-mo.-old Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista.

I have to google Yahoo mail.com now to get to my email account.
