I searched but couldn't find this.

Is there a way to set Hotmail to open in Firefox from WLM. My defaults are all Firefox, WLM is the only thing that opens an IE window. It's just irritating when I want to follow links from Hotmail to other sites.

Any ideas? Or could this be added into MsgPlus Live?

PS: I know StuffPlug used to have this function previously, but no version 3 yet =(

The are is suppose to be a way but it is NOT recommended as Live Messenger is very dependent of Internet Explorer.

Having said that, it is to my knowledge that Stuffplug MAY NOT have this feature in version 3

That has nothing to do with opening Hotmail in Firefox, and you know it.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HTTP\shell]
@="Firefox"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HTTP\shell\Firefox]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell]
@="Firefox"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HTTP\shell\Firefox\command]
@="D:\\Mozilla Firefox\\FIREFOX.EXE -url \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\open\command]
@="D:\\Mozilla Firefox\\FIREFOX.EXE -url \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\Firefox\command]
@="D:\\Mozilla Firefox\\FIREFOX.EXE -url \"%1\""

Make necessary modifications to the code above then save as *.reg, double click to import to your registry.

Below is the code for recover the default settings:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HTTP\shell]
@="open"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell]
@="open"

Or you can try this:

Err.... kmcbest, changing the default browser wont do the trick. Messenger uses some other way to do this .

And please dont double post .
