can't. yahoo is web-based email. windows is asking for an email program, e.g. outlook or thunderbird. you can, however, set up either of the programs to use your yahoo.com account.

you have to tell us the name of the program, that you want to setup yahoo mail as a default. If its outlook, then you just give the following detalis to the mail server:\n\nName of the server: mail.yahoo.com\nUsername: Your yahoo ID\nPassword: your yahoo password

Im pretty sure u have to make Mozilla ur default browser, if u dont have it as default:\n\nIn Windows XP, go to "Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Set Program Access and Defaults (on the left) -> Custom". After expanding the "Custom" category, you will see Internet Explorer and other installed browsers listed under "Choose a default Web browser". Select Mozilla or Mozilla Firefox.

Hi that happens because internet explorer has set outlook as your default mail program.\n\nThe only way around this is to either pay a fee to yahoo so you can use their POP3 from your computer or sign up with a provider that gives you this for free, otherwise you will have to keep copying and pasting everytime.

Yahoo Mail is not an email program on your computer - it's an email website. Because it's not an program on your computer, you can't tell XP to make it your default email program. However, you *can* make it your browser's home page so that everytime you start up your browser, it takes you right to Yahoo Mail.\n\nIf your browser is Internet Explorer, to make Yahoo mail your browser's home page, select "Tools, Options" from the menu bar, then, in the top text field on the General tab (the field labeled "Address" in the area labeled "Home page"), type or paste in the URL for Yahoo Mail.  (If you don't know the URL or how to find and copy it, then go to the Yahoo Mail page however you normally do, then click the "Use Current" button that's right under the "Address" field we were just talking about).\n\nIf you use Netscape, the instructions are similar, but you'll need to select "Edit, Preferences" from the menu bar instead, select the "Home page" radio button in the "Display on" area, then type the URL for Yahoo Mail in the "Location" field in the "Home Page" area.\n\nIf you're using some other browser, you'll need to access the preferences screen however you do it in that browser, then look for somewhere that you can do something similar to what I described for Internet Explorer and/or Netscape. (If you can't find it on your own, check the browser's Help file for assistance!)\n\nHope this helps...

i'm supposing that you want yahoo mail to be your default mail client so that when you click on mailto links on websites, it opens up yahoo automatically and then you can sign in and write the mail.. \nwell.. you'll have to install this additional script from yahoo.\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/ext/ext-09.html
