Setting the default email program in Windows

When I try to email photos from My Pictures (and when using other Office applications), my PC opens ­Outlook whereas I prefer to use ­Outlook Express. How do I configure it so that Outlook Express is the default emailer?

One way to set the default email program in Windows XP is to go to the Control Panel and run the applet called Internet Options. Click the Programs tab and, next to Email, pick whichever program you want from the drop-down list. Click OK to exit. Vista users have a different Control Panel applet called Set your default programs.
