Bringing this over from Part 14

I've seen some compers ask for email addresses to be posted as they don't have outlook. I don't have outlook but when I click on a link, it opens up straight in my gmail:

Firefox
go to Tools - Options - Applications then scroll down to mailto and choose from the dropdown list.

IE
Tools - Internet Options - Programs

I have been wanting to do this for ages. I use IE. I am probably being really thick (I'm not the best at anything technical), but I have clicked on Tools, then on Internet Options, then on the programs tab, then on the email picklist, windows live hotmail is already selected (I use a hotmail email address), so I thought that should be ok, yet if I click the email section of a competition, it still opens up Outlook. Can anyone please help me in simple terms?

Thank you and thank you Matroyshyka for bringing this forward.

Hi,

Sorry to jump in, hope you don't mind?

Did you click apply and then ok?
or just ok then it closed?

Hope this helps!

I don't mind at all about you jumping in - any help gratefully received.

I didn't click apply, because I had not changed anything. Windows live hotmail was already the preferred option. Just in case it made any difference, I have now gone back in and clicked apply and tried it again. Yet still it opens up Outlook.

Hi,

Sorry, I get it now!

I tried it on mine, as I use neither and it worked either way i.e outlook or hotmail.
See here it might help.

Thanks for the link. I have had a look at the page that this links to and if nothing else, this has perhaps made me realise that the problem might be because I am using Windows XP, whereas the instructions are for Windows Vista.

I will spend some time reading through the various links from that page, to see if I can glean anything.

Thanks for taking the time to try and help me.
