I can't set Windows mail to be my default email program. when I click the
"make default" button, it goes light as if being accepted, but it's not.
Windows Mail does not show up on my list of default programs. I think Outlook
may have been my default, but I uninstalled it. How do I get Windows Mail as
my default? Thank you all in adance for your help..

>> Windows Mail does not show up on my list of default programs.

Download and apply mailclients.reg file from my site here:
http://www.winhelponline.com/fixes/mailclients.reg

Save the file to desktop, right-click on the downloaded file and choose "Merge".

Thank you sooooo much! I have spent hours trying to remedy this to no avail.
Now it works perfectly. Do I keep the file I downloaded, or should I delete
it?

You may delete the REG file now.
