707. Make Thunderbird your default email app

 When clicking an email hypertext from Chrome, it does NOT go to my Thunderbird email application client. The system's Default App for Email is NOT Thunderbird and Thunderbird is not even a choice. Several changes required:

1. In Thunderbird, go to Options and put a check mark for "Always check to see if Thunderbird is the default mail client on startup".  This apparently only tells Thunderbird it is allowed to be a default. 
2. Now, go to Control Panel->Default Programs-> Set program access and computer defaults-> Custom. Note: If you find the rdio button already checked, click there anyway so you get the expanded message where it allows you to select Thunderbird as the default e-mail program. Fine, this only allows an entry to populate in the following step.
3.Go to START-> Personalize, Default Programs and click the current email default program. Now, select Thunderbird as the Email Default.
