Don't Want Microsoft Exchange as Default Email

I have a new Dell Dimensions B1100 and it apparently came with Microsoft Exchange. I don't use Exchange or Outlook as my default email service. I use IncrediMail. When I'm in Windows Explorer, I used to be able to select several files (pictures, Word files, etc.) and right click and send to email and it would go straight to my IncrediMail compose window. Now when I do that, "Microsoft Exchange Steup Wizard" screen pops up and I can't navigate my way through. I do not want to use Microsoft Exchange.
 
I'm looking for help in getting my computer back to where Incredimail is my default email and I can right click on files and send to IncrediMail.
 
Thanks for any help.

Thanks rickmktg, but I've already done that, several times to no avail.  I am getting the message below:


I have no idea where it's coming from. The only thing Microsoft related I've loaded is Office 97. I'm lost! :)

Your Dimension B110 (not Dimensions B1100) did NOT come with Microsoft Exchange.  Exchange runs on business servers.  It did come with Outlook.  Simple open Internet Explorer, click on Tools, Internet Options, Programs and change the default email program.

or you can simply remove Microsoft Outlook from your Office setup.  If you don't use it, there is no need to install it.

Since you're the one that loaded Office 97 (and not Dell), I'd suggest that you remove it as Esquire suggested...

Providing that info in your original post would have resulted in this answer sooner.
