But with Outlook never, I had it set as my default e-mail program and WLM only opens the hotmail page

I think is because Jesus has a gmail account, on that part yes, it will open outlook but to hotmail accounts it will open the browser because it checks the mail of the account you're logged in and if it is a hotmail or live one it goes to the browser

THANK YOU!

I don't mind the impossibility of it, given I do have a Live account and don't care to change it right now, but it was beginning to get maddening for me to hear how 'it SHOULD work' over and over...

..and thanks, Jesus, for testing it and providing an added confirmation...

I have the button opening outlook, in fact that is my problem I hate that it does that, originally all I wanted was the button to open my mail using firefox not IE so i installed stuffplug 3and clicked the appropriate boxes and not only did it not work like it was supposed it it started opening outlook instead, I have outlook 2007 so now i have installed the outlook connector so I can receive my hotmail account in outlook but it is definitely not what I want.

sounds like stuffplug is the answer...  thanks for your help.  Have you got firefox or IE set as your default browser?

I have firefox set as my default browser
