changing default email

Question

....can anyone tell me how to do this...every time i try to send an email from ' my pictures' or ' my documents' and certain 3rd party software ( resume ) my computer defaults to AOL which i no longer use...i have DSL through someone else. id like to use my AIM or gmail account to send my stuff out..because of this problem i cant send a resume where it needs to go.   any help?   ps..i never deleted any AOL stuff. i just deactivated my account with them if that matters.

Did you eve resolve this issue?  I have the same problem.  I would like to establish gmail as my default e-mail but in the Programs tab of Internet Options, like you mentioned, there are only four choices and gmail isn't one of them.  tdj

Hi,    I'm having the same issue right now. I am trying to change from Earthlink(which was deleted a long time ago) to cruzio.com. - I followed the instructions... control panel, internet options, program - but the option for default email is not showing. Is there another way around this? I am trying to reply to craiglist and it brings me to the same place in Outlook stating Earthlink is my server.
