Can you turn off Outlook Express?

Hello,
I have always used a web-based email account (Yahoo Mail) and have no need for Outlook Express on my system. I do not wish to delete it, just in case I need it one day.
The other day I decided to try it out just to see if it worked. It asked me to set up an email account with Hotmail. I did and then it asked me which "identity" I wanted to use. I selected the one I had just created, typed a test email and sent it to myself at Yahoo.com.
Now, I can't shut the darn thing off!!! Everytime I go online it attempts to log on! If I click on an email address on a website, the computer now opens Outlook Express instead of my Yahoo mail account like it used to.
What have I done? Is there a way to tell the computer not to use Outlook Express automatically as my default mail?

Chris,
Try this: with Internet Explorer open, go to tools, internet options, progams, e-mail and there you can change which program is used as your default mail program.
Hope that helps.

You can uncheck Outlook Express from the Windows Setup tab in Add/Remove Programs. You can always reinstall it if you want to; just recheck Outlook Express.
