    I was attempting to try and email some pictures that I have saved in my pictures library. When I click on a picture, it will open windows photo viewer. There are several tabs at the top and one of them shows 'email'. I chose that and this message pops up:
    I am using Win7 and Firefox browser. Outlook.com (formally hotmail) is my email program. Can this be made to the default email program?

    You could install Thunderbird and add your Outlook.com account to it and probably make this work.

    Unless you'll send a LOT of pictures, just doing it the old fashion way would be as good.

    That's what I did, although I am using MS Office Outlook instead of Thunderbird.

    Thanks all for the suggestions. I don't often send a lot of pictures at one time, so I'll just continue with what I've been doing. Just thought I'd check to see if this was possible, given the pop-up message I received.
