Change tmail.exe String value #1 to the full path of the executable of the SMS client you want to use. Start with "\"
If the path contains spaces - put it in quotes

For example: "\My Storage\Program Files\VITO\SMS-Chat\SMSChat.exe"

This will change the default SMS client in windows native interface. However, if you use some third party software that allows to send messages from the Contacts interface - it depends how it is implemented. If the developers call registry values it will work fine, but if they hardcoded into the code a path to WM native executable for messaging - tmail.exe - it'll still launch the default windows client.
