Actually you have to get a step BEFORE both which is to actually
*install* an e-mail client since Windows 7 doesn't come with one.

Notice the OP posted using Outlook Express which means it is likely the
OP posted from his Windows 7 host (unless he knows about installing the
Windows XP license for XP Mode on some versions of Windows 7).
Microsoft stopped bundling OE with Internet Explore back as of version 7
of IE.  The base version in Windows 7 in IE8.  OE is not available as a
separate install from IE.  So you can't get OE on Windows 7 unless you
use the Windows XP license with XP Mode (which is usable only on some
versions of Windows 7).

The OP needs to install an e-mail client before he can pick one as the
default.
