How to open outlook email hotlinks in another browser   

My email was configured using outlook.  When I click on a hot link in my 
email the link opens up in internet explorer.  However, my browser of choice 
is firefox.  Can someone tell my how I set up outlook email to open hotlinks 
in a different browser than IE?

Set FireFox to be your default browser.  Email links in Outlook will launch 
whatever browser you have set as your default.

Re: How to open outlook email hotlinks in another browser   

In XP, you use the "Set Program access and Defaults" application, in Vista, 
its 'Control Panel|Default Programs|Set your default programs'.  I suspect 
FireFox probably has a "Set this to be the default browser" checkbox in it 
somewhere.
