Option3? Yahoo has been notified about this problem and said they are working on the problem. In the meantime, you can use one of these links, it's basic, no frills, but it works. http://us.m.yahoo.com/p/mail or; http://uk.m.yahoo.com/p/mail Please post your feedback and Vote if the problem resolved as per your satisfaction.

If you use Yahoo! Mail for all your email needs, some of the amenities of Windows seem to elude you. A click on an email link in your browser brings up Outlook Express or another desktop email program, not a new message in Yahoo! Mail. Trying to send a file directly from Word, OpenOffice.org or another office application yields the same, unsatisfactory result.

Fortunately, the state of dissatisfaction need not be permanent. It will be overcome by making Yahoo! Mail act as your default email program in Windows, which, if you use Windows 95 or later is an easy thing to do.
Make Yahoo! Mail Your Default Windows Email Program

To set up Yahoo! Mail as your default email client in Windows:

* Download and install Yahoo! Messenger.
* Select Tools | Internet Options... from the menu in Internet Explorer.
* Go to the Programs tab.
* Make sure Yahoo! Mail is selected under E-mail.
* Click OK.

Yahoo! as Default Email: Does Not Work under Windows Vista

Unfortunately, Yahoo! Mail as your default email program may be hard-wired to use Internet Explorer instead of your default browser, and it does not work in Windows Vista.
Make Yahoo! Mail the Default Email Composer in Mozilla Firefox

In Mozilla Firefox, you can turn to the Mailto 2 Webmail script for Greasemonkey to have Yahoo! Mail handle email links (even under Windows Vista).

If I have understood the question correctly, it should be quite easy.

Obviously you need to have set up an account before a shortcut can be created, assuming you have done this for your parents already, please follow the directions below.

Firstly, Visit the Yahoo home page. Click the link that says "Mail."

When the next page opens it will either be the login page, or if you have logged in before and saved your password, you'll go right to your webmail.

When the login page opens, simply right click your mouse and select "Create Shortcut."

Your computer will tell you 'a shortcut will be created on your desktop' click ok.

You should now have a suitable desktop shortcut direct to the Yahoo login screen.

You can then rename the shortcut whatever you want by right clicking the mouse again, on the shortcut, and selecting rename. You could type, Freds Email or something. Hope this helps.
