I was recently reading the February issue of PC World and came across a pretty sweet fix to set the default email client to something other than Outlook on a PC.
Rick Broida's article in the January issue of PC World is located on page 104 in the Here's How section. The article is titled Rick Broida's hassle-Free PC, he included a few other tips, but this is the one that intrigued me the most.
All you have to do is click here this will take you to the GmailDefaultMaker (that is the name). It is a lightweight program that allows you to specify what email client you want to use as a default so that when you click on an email link online it launches your preferred email client, instead of the one that you never use and always hate to open. This includes Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, and some other small ones (it's not just for Gmail).
Check it out, I have used it and it is pretty nice. The program is a one-time "set it and forget it" type, so pretty simple even for a novice computer user. Enjoy it.
