Don't Want Any "mailto:" Program To Open

I have Windows Live Mail on my computer but I don't want to use it. Rather than uninstalling it, I'd like a way to remove it as the default mail handler - without replacing it with any other handler.

Basically, I don't want any mail program to open when I (accidentally) click a mailto: link. How do I achieve that?

I tried looking into removing the default mail handler but it won't seem to let me just have none.

EDIT: Solved - There's no easy way to purely remove a file/protocol association. You can only change an association (at least through the normal Windows methods). mailto: is a protocol and changing the mailto: association to a program that does nothing with it (Chrome) worked for me.

Hi I'm not sure how you would expect to send such an email,
Possibly give more details because I'm not seeing why you would want to use the Contact us or mail to link to the first place ?

Okay,
You can disable the Add-on Accelerator to not use live mail if that will help ?
Gear symbol on the top right and Manage add-ons,
Accelerators section uncheck the box to use Livemail,
See if this will accomplish,
You might need to close all browser windows before the setting to take effect,
Cheers.

Possibly there's another add-on in toolbars and extensions,
Take a screen shot of the show all add-ons pages possibly we can spot it,
Do you use the Bing bar ?

What you're looking for is:
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Associations

scroll down to protocols.

I didn't see a way to disassociate a protocol completely.

So maybe all you can do is disassocite the protocol and WLM app in
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Default Programs
-

Good thinking - associate the protocol with Chrome. Chrome doesn't know what to do with mailto:

Absolutely brilliant!

Gald I was able to point you in the direction you needed to figure something out.

Good thinking
I was hoping just disabling the add-ons would suffice but yes associating the protocol with another program will work to it's just a little more difficult to change the setting if you need to,
Enabling an add-on is pretty easy,
Cheers.
