How can I set Yahoo mail as the default e-mail?

I want to set Yahoo mail as the default e-mail instead of Outlook, so Yahoo Mail appears directly when I click on an e-mail link in a web page.

I went here:

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/set...

it says that I need to install Yahoo Toolbar to do that, so I have installed the latest version of Yahoo Toolbar but Yahoo Mail didn't appear in the list here: Internet Explorer> Options> Programs> E-mail

So how can I set Yahoo mail as the default e-mail instead of Outlook, so Yahoo Mail appears directly when I click on an e-mail link in a web page?

    That is the correct link,---- but just installing "a Yahoo" toolbar sometimes won't work. It's got to be the *exact* one.

    Click that link again-----and this time use the "download link" (that's included in those instructions) to get the correct toolbar installed.

    Then Yahoo Mail should be listed on the Internet programs list.
