When opening e-mail notifications of favourite threads or replies to posts, the relevant posts always open in Internet Explorer but I prefer to use MyIE2 as my browser. How can I get posts to open in MyIE2?

Hi Mike,
funny that - it's the same for me. My default browser is Mozilla but calling web pages from the forum and they open up in IE. Guess Brendan will wander in shortly and give us some wise words.
You still on the island?

Hm, intereresting. By setting the default browser, then all calls on urls should open in the default. However, things get screwed up, so
1 try this little utility. It will reset all the registry settings to your chosen browser. If it's not one of those listed, just choose 'other' and use auto find. If it can't autofind, 'browse' to the .exe file of your chosen browser
http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/setbrowser/
if that doesn't work, then you can set the file permissions manually, to force any webpages called using your browser of choice
* Go to "Start -> Settings -> Folder Options -> File Types" and assign the following things to Mozilla (or MyIE2):
o URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol
o URL:Protected HyperText Transfer Protocol
o URL:File Transfer Protocol
o HTML File
o HTM File (optional)
If using Windows XP, you go "Start -> Control Panel" first.
o In your Control Panel choose "Category View", and click on "Performance and Maintenance". Then, click on "Files Types" in the left column under the heading "See Also".
**** If your Control Panel uses Classic View, then go "Folder Options -> File Types".
o In either case, set the above associations to Mozilla (or MyIE2).

I'll look forward to Brendan's reply with some trepidation as he savaged me the last time I asked a stupid question on this particular forum
Yup, still in UK but new (to me) boat will be delivered to Med in a couple of weeks so I'll be out there afterwards. Dont plan on going back to Denia though. You still there?
