Default switch from Yahoo to Outlook for photo emailing?

I've always emailed photos through Outlook Express. When I go into the
folder where my pics are saved, I highlight the ones I want to email.
There's an option on the left to email photos -- I click it -- and it allows
me to send them at a smaller size than they're saved. Then Outlook opens up,
and I send them. Easy.

But for some reason, they are now going to Yahoo instead of Outlook. Yahoo
takes *forever* to send the photos. It was so easy before! How do I make
the photos email through Outlook again? Sorry for my ignorance, and thanks
for any help.

=============================================
I cannot guarantee it, but the following method may work:

How do I make OE my default mail client?

Go to...Start / Run...and enter the following:

>"C:\PROGRAM FILES\OUTLOOK EXPRESS\MSIMN.EXE" /reg<

(copy paste everything between the > < but not including the > <)
(But first...Check the path to msimn.exe to make sure it is correct)

Click...OK...

Then open Internet Explorer and go to...Tools / Internet Options /
Programs tab...and set OE as the default mail (and news) program.

Good luck.

As msimn is registered just

msimn /reg

will do.

Windows wouldn't accept the command... but deleting Yahoo did the trick for
the email. Thanks, guys.

===========================
Did you receive a dialog box that said:
"Windows cannot find msimn/reg....ect."

There must be a space between n and /

Thanks for the update.

Thanks.

Type cmd in Start Run

Type

reg query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVersion\App Paths\msimn.exe"

Look at what it says and try to find the file listed.
