clicking on a hyperlink. It currently opens that useless Microsoft Outlook program which I have never been able to figure out (do you have to pay for it??). When I go to Tools>Internet Options>Programs>Internet Programs>Set Programs>Set your Default Programs> HOW DO I PICK AOL EMAIL??? Any suggestions will be extremely appreciated. Cut and pasting hyperlinks is a lengthy process which I would like to avoid. Thank You, regards, Paul

Pretty sure you need some sort of locally installed client to do that.
You could try asking over in the Windows 7 subforum on here or Lenovo Forum, or get a better answer over on the Windows 7 subforum on MSFN.

settings firefox
go to Tools>Options>Applications>
Under content type there is a 'mailto' option, under the actions for 'mailto' just choose AOL.
