Internet Explorer Question

cubboyroy1826 · 12-04-2009, 01:39 PM

Okay i need a little technical help. I am wondering how the heck i change what program is chosen when i click on a link in an email. I use Firefox for most everything but whenever i click on a link the link is opened with internet explorer which has become dreadfully slow lately. Any ideas?

Typically it depends on the e-mail program you are using. There is usually a setting somewhere that will allow you to select which browser is used.

Make sure that Firefox is your default web browser. This is a Windows-wide thing and could vary depending on what version you are running.

I use Outlook and Outlook Express and i have Firefox set at the default browser as well. It was working fine until about a month ago and now i have no clue what the heck happened.

Click Start > Set Program Accesses and Defaults

Then configure your setup so that IE is set as the default browser in there.

If I make IE the default won't it still use that from the email programs?

I'm sorry, I meant set it so Firefox is the default browser.
