If that does not take effect right away, try restarting Thunderbird or even the computer once.
If you are running Windows XP you could download the DefaultMail utility and use it to set the default e-mail client. It can also do this on a per-user basis That's useful if several people share a machine (with their own Windows user account) and each wants to use a different e-mail client as the default e-mail client.
