How can I make Hotmail my e-mail program preferred on my laptop with Windows 7

And specifically how Hotmail (windows live mail) open when I click on a link to contact Web site using Firefox.  Now a small window called 'Launch the application' opens and asks if I want to use either Yahoo! or Gmail I want to use.  Hotmail or Live Mail is not yet shown as an option in this window.  I tried to find Hotmail by clicking the Browse button in this window to search for the app and I can't seem to find Hotmail or Live mail anywhere and still I use Hotmail every day.  I guess that I don't know where Firefox point to Hotmail/Live Mail as the preferred application to use when I click on a link to contact with any Web site.
Thank you for your help.

  • How can I load my vista e-mail folders in an application compatible with Windows 7 or XP

    My motherboard on my HP Pavilion laptop is dead and he was running Vista 64 - bit OS. I'm trying to recover my email so I can read in a mailer with the files so I can just point and click to see them. I was able to recover the contents of the hard drive and copy them to my office. Unfortunately, I don't have a .csv file recent backup of email, as well as the Local folder, there is the Windows Mail data. I tried to import them in Office 2007, but of course, Outlook uses a PST file and will not allow these files to be dragged into the Inbox. My desktop computer runs on XP Home and so I tried to load in Outlook Express. No luck. I tried dragging the files in Mozilla Thunderbird Email, with unsuccessful results. If only I had a good index of folders backup my problem would be solved. Is there anyway I can import or move these folders in an e-mail application that actually do it, for now my only option is to open the individual txt email files to display. I was not able to find a compatible third-party application that can move or import these files for me. Any help would be appreciated.

    There are two ways to bring them into OE.  You create a new folder in OE and open it so that it displays a list of empty message.  In Windows Explorer, open the folder under local folders and then proceed to one of the subdirectories.  Then highlight all eml files in the directory and make sure that you have selected the eml files.  Then let them slide over the emptiness of messageliste OE and drop and they get incorporated into the file, as long as they are only eml files (try it with a first and so you get the idea of how it works).

    You can then do this for each folder.  Or you can get my program OEX (www.oehelp.com/OEX/) and authorizes the import into OE or WinMail in Vista from a directory of eml files.

  • How can I access my Microsoft Virtual PC on an external hard drive with Windows Virtual PC on my new computer?

    For a few years, I have been using a set of VPC on external hard drives (.vmc files both .vhd located on external drives) with the Microsoft Virtual PC/Virtual PC Console on a Windows XP computer. They worked perfectly.

    However, I just bought a new computer with Windows 7, and I'm unable to access the VPC on the external hard drive. I installed successfully, Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode on the computer, and I copied the file to the host machine's .vmc. However, when I try to open the virtual computer, I get a message saying that the VPC was "impossible to write in one of its virtual hard disks.

    I've tried everything I can think of, but the only thing that works is to copy the .vmc and .vhd in the computer file. The problem is that I use the VPC for training online, and I have 16 of them. If I copy everything in the computer, I will use all 500 GB of disk space.

    There must be a way to access the VPC for external drives. If I can do it on the old XP computer, it should be possible to do it on the new Windows 7 computer.

    Help, please.

    Thank you!

  • How can I make Firefox the default browser in a non-administrative account in Windows XP, where clicking to do has no effect?

    I have two accounts for myself on my PC under Windows XP. In the administrative account, Firefox is already the default browser that appears when I double-click an HTML file, etc. Firefox knows that it is the default browser.

    In my other account, whenever I start Firefox, it tells me that this isn't the default browser. By clicking here to make the value by default, or in the options, does nothing.

    When I go to Set Program Access and defaults in the administrative account, 'use my current browser' is selected. Mozilla Firefox is not listed as an option. In my nonadministrator account, the Control Panel Add / Remove programs can be used. He says I don't have permission.

    To check in the other account, you would have to temporarily give him administrator permissions.

  • How can I make an icon of office always open a URL in a window max?

    I think I asked a long time ago and I thought I knew how to do this, but it ain't working for me.

    I have an icon on my desktop (I keep only a few here) and she's ready to open / * link removed * /. But for some reason, it always just open this site in a half size window. I have maxxed it (manually and with the button [_] upward in the right corner) and then closed and it still opens in a less that maximize the view. I don't even remember where he got this window size of...

    I even restarted Windows XP after maxxing he and l ', and it will always open in this small size. And I made sure I never saw an end now to explore while he was going to shut down Windows, as I learned this program stores some of this junk.

    I clicked the icon on the desktop and I was hoping to find a box titled maximized open, but there isn't one like this anywhere.

    I even use cCleaner and I ticked a box in the Windows section on the Advanced tab that says window size/location Cache, and then I ran the cCleaner. Then I restarted Windows and tried to open this URL by using the icon on the desktop and it is still open in the window to half size.

    Arghhhh!

    You created the shortcut on the desktop may have some command of the file, send, shortcut on the desktop of a browser or something similar. This creates the equivalent of the half-a-shortcut in that it records the target URL but not the program that launches the target URL. Instead, it relies on the default browser and file association settings to launch the web page from the URL. Since you have no executable program in the shortcut, you are given the choice of opening in a maximized, minimized or floating window of the application.

    The following should be the correct procedure to create a shortcut to Internet Explorer for that allows you to set the view state of the application window.

    1. Right click on a box empty office and select new, shortcut.
    2. For the location of the item of Type: type or paste in,.
            "%PROGRAMFILES%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe.
      When you have this in the text box, click Next. If the location of the browser application is incorrect, you will be asked to fix it.
    3. Provide a name for the new shortcut, and then click Finish in the lower right.
    4. Right click on your new shortcut on the desktop and select Maximized in options of execution on the sharing tab.
    Your new shortcut should now open in a maximized window. Another option is to open Internet Explorer mode full booth (e.g. Fullscreen) by adding k at the command line like:

    '%PROGRAMFILES%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe' k
