If you use web-based email like Yahoo or Gmail, you know the biggest drawback occurs when you click on a link on a web page to email someone and you realize the default email program on your computer is not the web based email one.

Instead of opening Yahoo Mail, Outlook Express or some other client-side email program opens. Of course, if you have Yahoo Mail Plus, you could setup Outlook Express or any other default email application to use it.
But is there a simple way to set your default email application to Yahoo Mail or Gmail.

Yes there's a way to accomplish this, unfortunately it doesn't work in Windows Vista.

If you follow the steps below you should be able to use the mailto links on a web page to email someone easily.
