How to Make Eudora Vista's Default Mail Program
The organization of Windows Vista is much different from that of previous operating systems. The names, places and appearance of many of the parts of Vista have received a complete change since Windows XP. This can confuse even the most computer-savvy individuals, leaving them wondering how to do even simple tasks. At the top of the standard Vista Start menu, Microsoft has added quick links to the default browser and mail program, but many people prefer other programs. These defaults are configurable, but the process is surprisingly complex.
