I have recently changed my default web browser to Mozilla Firefox and when i try to open a web link in Outlook it opens the desktop folder from Docs and settings instead of firefox or IE! Can someone please help!

You might have to set the default browser manually

* In Windows XP, go to "Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Set Program Access and Defaults (on the left) -> Custom". After expanding the "Custom" category, you will see Internet Explorer and other installed browsers listed under "Choose a default Web browser". Select Mozilla or Mozilla Firefox.

If that doesn't work,

* In Windows Control Panel and if Windows XP is using the Control Panel "Classic View":
o Click on "Folder Options -> File Types".
* In Windows XP using the Control Panel "Category View":
o Click on "Performance and Maintenance". Then, click on "File Types" in the left column under the heading "See Also".

Assign the following filetypes to Mozilla or Firefox:

* URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol
* URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy
* URL:File Transfer Protocol
* HTML File
* HTM File (optional)

Note that you may find the URL file types above under extension "N/A" or "(none)".
