I downloaded Windows Messenger 5.0 in an attempt to
solve a problem that I won't go into here. However, is
there any way to change the default e-mail in windows
messenger 5.0 which picks up my work e-mail and I would
prefer to use my hotmail account. Am running XP Pro.
Thanks for any help that you can give.
 
Greetings Don,

Windows Messenger 5 will use whatever your default e-mail client is set to. As such, to use
Hotmail, open up Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then Internet Options, then
Programs tab, under E-mail, choose "Hotmail" and then click OK.

However, you won't see any pop-up messages or see how many e-mails are in your Hotmail inbox
as in Windows Messenger 4.7 (with the MSN Add-In).
