    Click on Tools----then on Internet Options.

    Across the top of the dialog box---click the " programs" tab.

    Then click the down arrow next to the "email" line and choose Yahoo mail----then "apply and OK".

    If Yahoo doesn't appear as one of the choices----(it usually doesn't)---you will need to download (or RE-download) Messenger----all of it. That puts Yahoo on the list.

    Now, go back (tools-internet options-programs) and you can choose Yahoo now. (apply and ok).

    You can now remove Messenger (if you don't want it), without affecting the setting.
