Set as the Default Mail or News Application
SUMMARY: Configure Windows Live Mail to be the default application for Mail or News.

1. Access the Windows Live Mail menu by clicking the menu button (see the screenshot to the right) or press Alt + M.
2. Select "Options".
3. The "Options" multi-tabbed dialog box appears. Make sure the "General" tab is selected.
4. Underneath "Default Messaging Programs", click "Make Default" next to "the default Mail handler" and/or "the default News handler" as desired.
