Windows Live Mail

When i click on a link in an email that i received i can't open that link. An error message appears instead which says "This file does not a program associated with it performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel."

I am using Windows XP pro, Firefox 4.0b8, how i can do that?

Thanks,
chris
