Could someone tell me why when on Ultimate I go here: Start/Default
Programs/"Associate a file type or protocol..."
Scroll down to "URL : HyperText Transfer Protocol"
I get only the choice between IE and FF:

Why can't I choose other browsers? Opera is the default browser on the
system and it's not even listed here as a choice.
Everything I've tested opens links in Opera, but Outlook 2007 suddenly
decided today that it wants to use IE. If I change the above screen to FF,
it uses FF, so I'm thinking if I could choose Opera there it would use Opera
again, though it apparently wasn't necessary before.
The corresponding Registry entry seems to be this:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\http\UserChoice
The value there does change to something appropriate for IE or FF when you
use the above screen to change the browser for the HTTP protocol. However,
when I put "Opera.Protocol" there (which was what it always used to be),
links in Outlook still open in IE.
