Have you got an icon for set program access and defaults in your start menu?

You can't do what I suggested with windows 2000 - sorry.
I'll await someone with more experience of windows 2000 to show up.

If you go into Outlook and select tools then options you should have an option to choose the default mail handler.

Have you tried removing anything related to yahoo from your computer (eg yahoo toolbar?) or maybe do a repair install of Outlook to take associations back from Yahoo mail.
