Change "linking" browser from IE to Firefox

[Bob]

Is it possible to change the browser which opens when you
click on a link in a message?

For safety I prefer Firefox. However, when an email has a
link IE opens.

Firefox is my "default" browser but Outlook always goes
to IE.

Thanks

Hey Bob,

I also prefer Firefox. If you use XP and you go to Add/Remove Programs and
remove IE from XP Components, this will cause Outlook to use Firefox by
default. At least, that's the way my computer is set-up.

You won't truly lose IE, but most of the registry keys that cause it's
overly-convenient integration with other MS products will be removed.

So, give that a shot. Should work wonders.
