How does one set up a Default E-Mail address?

I have some PDF files that I want to E-Mail to myself, But it is saying there is no associated default e-mail assigned to my laptop.

How can I make Yahoo! My default E-mail?

Regards

    Do you have Outlook installed?

    If not then use the Yahoo webmail.

    It depends how you access e-mail. When Windows says that there is no default email program, that might be because you aren't using an email client (i.e. software such as Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) but access your email via a web server.

    You can either ignore Windows' complaint about not having a default email client and just log in to your email via the web, or you could install an email client to access your messages, and tell Windows to use that as the default email program.

    If you already have an email client installed, you should be able to tell Windows to use it as the default by going to Control Panel / Default Programs.

    Your ISP has supplied you with POP email. Use that with an appropriate client.
