If you have the POP and SMTP setup for Hotmail, you can use ANY email client and you are done. WEB MAIL is not "mail" and causes much confusion.

I've read that there is no email default on windows 7.
So, I want to use Hotmail as my default email. I downloaded Windows Live Mail. Windows Live Mail shows up now in my default program list, but Windows Live Hotmail does not.
Is there a way to make Hotmail specifically the default? Or am I stuck with Windows Live Mail?
