Here are tutorials that show you how to do just that: change default programs in Windows Vista set Microsoft Outlook as default email in Windows 7 or set Mozilla Thunderbird as default email program in Windows 7. Tip: if you're just trying to remove Windows Live Mail as default program, no need to uninstall it. They are normally sorted by name, which makes them easy to find if that's not the case, click on the ' Name' column to sort them alphabetically. In Windows 7, Windows 10, and Vista, you can do that straight from the start menu, no need to open the Control Panel first. In Windows 8, type ' control panel' on the start screen, and search for ' uninstall' in the search box in the top right corner of the window. ( Careful: depending on the number of apps installed, Windows may keep adding new results under ' Programs', which may lead you to click on the wrong uninstaller!) The correct uninstall link in the results will open a listing of all applications currently installed on your computer, inside a Control Panel window. Open the start menu, and type ' Uninstall' in the search field then, click on the first link displayed under Control Panel, labeled ' Uninstall a program'. Completely remove Windows Live Mail from your PC
