Try setting it in one more place.. click Start, "Set program access and
defaults", click the "Expand" arrows to the right of "Custom", under
"Choose a default email program", click the box to the left of "Mozilla
Thunderbird" and OK your way out.

1. Start | Settings | Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Set Program
Access and Defaults | Custom (<=important!) | Choose a default email
program: Select "Thunderbird" here (not "Use my current...").

2. Set Thunderbird as your default for Mail in IE Tools | Internet Options |
Programs, too.
