Windows mail

I just looked under Options in Window Mail. It says, "This application is
the default Mail handler." When I click on an email address it opens Outlook
and when I try to email a group it opens Outlook.
 
I'd like to get "Windows Mail" back into the top of the menu that comes up
with clicking on the Start globe in the taskbar. I deleted it thinking it
would confuse the 92 year old client whose machine this is, as she was going
to use AOL webmail. However, most webmail applications are so frought with
garbage on the screen, that the appearance of Windows Mail (uncluttered)
seems a good alternative for one with macular degeneration (she can't see at
all well).

How may I get Windows Mail back at the top of that list? (or at least under
the Internet Explorer link)
 
Make sure that Windows Mail has all of the email defaults.
"Start" - "Default Programs" - "Set your default programs"
Highlight "Windows Mail", then click on "Choose defaults for this
program".
click on "Select all"
click on "Save"

Anytime you get an update for Outlook, it will steal the defaults.
 
Dave. Thank you. That was a very simple fix.
