How to get rid of/ prevent Windows Live Mail from opening?

I have vista, and befor whenever i would right click my "Msn icon" and go up to Email Inbox (## New Messages) it would open up an internet page and take me to my Hotmail acc online.

    You need to set Hotmail as your default email client. There's a "tool" for this. Read here how to do it: http://email.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1...
