    Gmail as default mailto


    Hiya....I am trying to set this up but it's not working.

    Every time I click on a link to send mail my Windows Live mail program opens.... obviously is the default.

    I have installed the gmail desktop notifier which is great...following instructins it says to right click icon on taskbar>options then check use gmail internet mailto links box but it still does not work. Any ideas anybody?

    Thanks
