When I click on an email address in Excel, Windows wants to force me to use gmail or google mail. Is there any way I can get windows to default to Hotmail?

There is a somewhat involved way to set up Windows Live Mail as a handler for email links in Firefox. I don't know whether it extends to Excel, but it's worth a try. Please see this thread for more details: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/897795

Does that work?
