How do I make Yahoo my default e-mail client? There isn't a option for this when I go to change it!?

I know that you go to Internet Explorer / Tools / Internet Options / Programs and there is a drop down list of default e-mail clients to chose from well the only ones listed are CorelCentral Mail ; Opera ; Outlook Express ; Windows Live Mail How do I install where I can choose it to be Yahoo! ? Also, maybe if I want to use Gmail as my default instead of Yahoo. Because I am so sick of copying and pasting the e-mail address and going back and forth, :\ Ugh.

1. To make Yahoo! Mail the default email application for your computer, click Start > Control Panel > Internet Options > Programs tab > under E-mail click the down arrow and select Yahoo! Mail > click Apply and OK. If Yahoo! Mail isn't listed as an option, follow the directions below. Using Internet Explorer just click "Continue" on the link below to download a small 60K file that will enable Yahoo! Mail to be the default email application for your computer. Whenever you click on an email address on any web page or in any computer program, Yahoo! Mail will open for you in a new window. If Internet Explorer displays a yellow security bar at the top, click on it and select Install ActiveX Control from the menu. If a security warning comes up with Yahoo! Inc. as the publisher, click Install. Now you can click on an email address anywhere and your computer will automatically open up Yahoo! Mail for you. You can even send documents directly from Word, Excel, or other Windows applications. Requirements: Windows 95 / 98 / ME / NT / 2000 / XP / Vista Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher http://help.yahoo.com/help/uk/mail/ext/ext-11.html If Yahoo! Mail isn't listed as a default email option, adding one of Yahoo’s free downloads to your computer, Yahoo! Messenger, Yahoo! Music, or Yahoo! Toolbar will also add Yahoo! Mail to the list of email options, and if you don't want it, uninstall it ( it will leave Yahoo! as an email option ). Download the Gmail Notifier and you can designate Gmail as your default mailto handler. This means that when you click on any hyperlinked email address, a Gmail compose window will open so you can send a message to that address from Gmail. https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=10966&query=mailto:&topic=0&type=f&ctx=en:search This is a Firefox Add-on.
