Your Windows Live Mail from the start menu redirects to Firefox? I don't believe you unless you did something registry tricks or something. Setting FF as the default does not change that.

whizpopthat, your "advice" is not helping by any stretch of the imagination. Windows Live Mail opens in Internet Explorer and has been the case for a long time. Just by posting and offering no information that is relevant, or correct, you are spamming a thread where a user has a genuine problem.

There was a period where Windows Live Mail was opening in another browser I was using (Avant). I don't use Stuffplug at the moment, because it failed to work correctly when I first installed it and I have since lost confidence (although I'm sure it is fine as so many users on the forum use it.

So I think there is another to do it, but I'm not sure what the specific circumstances where at the time I achieved it

sorry it's been quite some time since my last post, I've been busy.
Have you tried altering the "%ProgramFiles%\path\to\firefox.exe" http://mail.live.com/

I'm not sure what you mean exactly. I entered that exact text and I got nothing.

What should I try altering in the path\to\firefox.exe? I'm not really sure.

%ProgramFiles% = [drive]:\Program Files (C:\Program Files)

for my system i would use: %ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe


so the whole thing would be

code:
"%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://mail.live.com/
