How can I disconnect Windows Live from my Outlook Express? I find it very
annoying when I try to send something and Windows Mail comes up.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

Please clarify.

Outlook Express is a part of XP and earlier Windows versions.

Windows Mail is a part of Windows Vista only.

Windows Live Mail is a substitute e-mail client that /you/ download and
install. (XP and Vista only).

With that in mind, what is your OS, what is happening, and what do you want
to happen?

I am using Windows XP and don't even know how Windows Live got on here
instead of my regular Hotmail. When I am on a web page and go to file, then
send as... Windows Live comes up and takes over instead of Outlook Express.

The I assume you are referring to Windows Live Hotmail and not Windows Live
Mail? (There is no Windows Live).

Try making OE the default e-mail client. The first link may be all you need,
but I included other options.

Make OE the default e-mail client:
http://www.oehelp.com/oedef.aspx

For links in e-mail:

And:

Restores OE to the E-mail clients list in Internet Options

If you have MS Outlook installed, also see:

Windows Live Mail is part of "Windows Live Essentials" that certainly you've
installed.
You can remove WLM:

Bruce, thanks for answering.
I am running WindowsXP media edition. I don't know how Windows Live took
over my Hotmail. When I am at a web page and want to send it, I click on
File, send... and then Windows Live takes over instead of my default mail,
which is outlook express.
I want Outlook Express to handle such e-mailings.
