You can download this program here:  http://gmaildefault.codeplex.com/downloads/get/165733

  • After you have downloaded the program, run the installation wizard.  When you get to the Setup Type page, just select the option: Yahoo and complete the installation process.
  • Once the application has been installed, go to your Windows Start menu and type in Notepad.  Right-click on the Notepad program and select Run as administrator and Open the txt file called "link" that by default is located under C:/Program Files > GmailDefaultMaker.
  • After you have opened the "link" txt file, delete all of the text that is in the file and replace with the following:  http://www.k12usa.com/webmail2/send.asp?To=%RECI%&subj=%SUBJ%&body=%BODY%
