Default Toolbar Icon for Windows Mail

I'd like to be able to open Windows Mail from an icon on the toolbar of IE
7. But when I add the icon included in the customize list, it gives me a
message that Outlet Express cannot be opened (obviously). Strange that
Microsoft's latest browser doesn't support Microsoft's latest email program.
Is there a way to program the button to open Windows Mail? Is there also a
way to add such a button to Firefox?

That's weird. Try making Windows Mail default under Control Panel | Default
Programs.

That worked; thanks. Not sure why it wasn't the default already since it's
a brand new machine with Vista and IE 7 pre-installed.

Glad you got it working. Some things one doesn't try and figure out. G
