Windows Live Hotmail and Vista

I normally use Windows Live Hotmail as my default email client. I decided to
try Windows Live Mail Desktop. But now Vista won't let me change back to
using Windows Live Hotmail as my default email program. It's not listed
under program access and control, etc.

Any ideas?

Press the start button and right click on an empty space of the start menu
and select properties, then follow the arrows I have in this screenshot
and select windows live mail.

Windows Live Hotmail is a web e-mail service you access through your web
browser. If you are talking about e-mail client, Windows Mail can be set as
your default client by, clicking Start > click Default Programs > select
Windows Mail from the Programs list and click 'Set this program as default".

That did the trick Jim! Thank you very much. It wasn't obvious where to
find it.
