change email

how do i change my email program from microsoft mail to hotmail? also how do i access other computers on my network? on win xp i could do those things. -- Business website dab15ander.tripod.com

Going with setting program access and defaults. Looking at both XP & Vista and I don't see any way to set your default e-mail program to hotmail. Most none microsoft programs have to be installed to set them as a default, so I don't see how you can get hotmail there at all, which by the way seems to be lacking, still...
Going with using Windows Mail to access hotmail/MSn account similar to outlook express, this feature is not available. I don't see it becoming avaiable as hotmail/MSn is going to end up being Windows Live Mail
In either case setting your default e-mail to a webbased site with links set to compose, inbox, etc would be a useful addition to the program access & defaults.
In the meantime, since your doing the beta thing, why not try out Windows Live Mail at the same time?
