How do I make other email programs my Default Email programs in Windows XP?

I'm not the most tech savvy person, but I've researched this, and haven't found the solution yet. Doing a search it tells you to go to Start>Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs>click on Set Program Access and Defaults>Click the Drop-Down menu under "Custom."
Then under "Custom," there's a heading in bold titled, "Choose a default e-mail program:"
I look to choose Firefox, but it doesn't exist. There are 3 options given.
1) Use my current email program, which is checked. (but how does it know what it is?)
2) Outlook Express (off to the right checked off is "Enable access to this program.")
3) Windows Live Mail (off to the right checked off is "Enable access to this program.")
- I know Firefox does not have email, but I figured someone out there has a similar problem and can help.
** I'm trying to add Yahoo, Gmail, and Aol mail to this list, but I have no idea how to do it.
** I've already changed the program used to open email links in the Firefox browser settings: Tools>Option>Application>scroll down to "mailto" and there are options for Yahoo, Gmail, Aol mail.
** On the Set Program Access and Defaults menu as I explained above, there are other headings in bold. The one above the "choosing a default email program" is "choose a default web browser." Firefox is an option there, so I didn't have to add it.

Hi the-edmeister. Thank you for your response.
How come in several screen shots I've seen online searching for this solution in XP, the default email programs listed contain at least one of: yahoo, gmail, and aol?
I understand they're web mail portals, but they are still appearing under the "Default Email Program" heading in "Custom."

  • How do i make adobe emailer function?

    how do i make adobe emailer function?

    Here's what I found at the download site:
    Follow these steps to get started:
    You need to install the Creative Cloud app in order to install this Add-on
    Click "Get Creative Cloud App"
    Install a compatible app, if needed, and make sure to Sync files to Creative Cloud
    Turn on Files Sync when you've installed Creative Cloud app, your Add-on(s) will be automatically installed
    That's all the author has to say, other than he no longer has time to support any of his scripts.
    Because of new projects and a changing demand for my time, it will be necessary for me to move on to new projects at Adobe. For this reason I will no longer be able to support, or update many of my scripts and panels. Never fear! – I am releasing the source code for many of my programs and if you are a programmer then you can use this code to modify and change my scripts to meet your needs. If you are not a programmer then I recommend working with anyone on the list of programmers that I have supplied below. However! Let me make it clear that his code is not to be sold. This is an open and free source to be used for the good of humankind and Adobe Photoshop users around the world.
    May the source be with you...

  • How can i make a email for my printer

    how can i make a email for my printer to send the things to the email and get it printed if i was out of the house my printer model is 3525

    Hi alhashmi_sy,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you would like to learn how to setup the ePrint feature of your Deskjet Ink Advantage 3525 printer.
    The first step is to connect your printer to your wireless network. Please follow the steps in the Installing the Printer Software for a Wireless Network Connection document for your operating system. If you have already setup your printer with a USB cable, each operating system section has the steps to switch from the USB connection to a wireless connection.
    After connecting the printer to your wireless network please follow the steps for Getting the Printer Claim Code. Once you have the web services information sheet with your claim code please Set Up a Custom Email Address for ePrint.
    You should now have a customized ePrint email address for your printer. If you run into any issues please let me know at what step things went awry and the contents of any error messages. Please also let me know what operating system you are using on your computer (whatsmyos.com). Thank you.

    on my iPad, my outgoing mail regularly replies that the email was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying. What does that mean and how can I make the emails go out?

    Try this.
    Check your username and password in the outgoing mail server setting. Fill it in even of it says that it's optional.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>choose the email account>account name, tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email username and password and see if that works for you.

    How can I make more email maps for the iPad2?

    If you are on iOS 5 as your tagline suggests and it's an IMAP type account then you should get an Edit button at the top of the list of folders that you currently have on your email account. If it's a POP type account then you won't get the Edit button.

  • Acrobat X Standard Bookmarks - How do I make the Zoom Level action default to "Fit Page" when combining to one pdf?

    Acrobat X Standard Bookmarks - How do I make the Zoom Level action default to "Fit Page"?
    When I combine multiple pdf files into a single binder, Acrobat creates a bookmark for each file.  In the properties for each bookmark, there is an action created to go to the page in the document and has the zoom level at "fit width".  Question is, how do I change this apparent default zoom level to "fit page" when Acrobat creates the bookmarks when combining the pdf files?

    Is there a way to do it in one step instead of individually on each bookmark?  This gets VERY cumbersome when I have upwards of a hundred bookmarks to change.

  • How do I make the UK Safari my default browser when I log on ?

    Excuse me if this sounds stupid, but Im on broadband and and when I log onto Safari I get the USA version, so if I want to go to the Store page I get prices in dollars, which means I then have to go to a bookmark for the Apple Store UK to get what I want. So heres my problem:
    1. Am I correct that there is a UK Safari browser and if so
    a) Is it identical to the USA Safri browser with news etc
    b) How would I make the UK version my default bowser ?
    As usual hope this makes sense !
    Albert

    Albert,
    Although some default bookmarks may be specific to the U.S., Safari is generally not country specific. User modification is simply a matter of entering your preferences or deleting unwanted bookmarks.
    If you want the UK store as your "Home page", open Safari>Preferences...>General>and paste http://www.apple.com/uk/ into the "Home page:" field.

  • How do I make the Nook application my default reader on my IPad?

    How do I make the Nook application my default reader on the IPad?

    I have the same question and I don't see an answer.  I have downloaded the Nook for iPad.  I purchased a book and when I tried to download it, it asked me to download it into iBooks.  When I contacted B&N their suggestion was to make sure that iBooks was not set as my default for books.  When I went into the user guide I found nothing to help me change this option.  I have sinced received my download from B&N (two days later it just appeared in my nook app on my iPad) but since then I've purchased and tried to download 3 more books from B&N and the same things happens.  Should I just get rid of the iBooks app?

    How do you make VLC Media Reader the default reader for playing DVI videos that are on a DVD in the DVD player

    For Snow Leopard and below (don't know for Lion) there is a free preference pane called RCDefaultApp that has all your file associations in one easy to manage location, includes tons of stuff, even controlling what gets opened when you click a link on a web page. Webcam and other associations. The Get Info method also works for your immediate need.

  • How can I make a email at my muse domain

    I just wanted to know how to make an email at my own domain so that i don't have to subscribe to something like godaddy.

    Using Adobe Hosting :
    - You would need to upgrade site plan to web basic+ which includes email service.
    - After adding domain , you can create email records which would be on default domain added to site.
    Using external hosting :
    - If your hosting provides email service then you can create email records on your domain
    - Or use third party email service.
    Email account creation is done on hosting platform wherever you are hosting your site.
    Thanks,
