Hi,
Firefox is my default web browser but a program I use at work requires
IE6+ to be the default. I'm trying to find a way around this
ridiculous situation. Allow me to explain:

The program generates HTML reports (temporary files) and immediately
opens them in IE. If FF is set as default browser, simply nothing
happens. The tech 'support' can't seem to tell me why this is the case
and, in any event, I don't care if the report opens in IE. What does
bother me is having to change my default browser because of this!!!

I'm trying to understand what exactly 'default web browser' actually
means; I've seen several entries for potentially relevant 'files' in
Windows Explorer's "File Types" settings. Now I'm trying to guess how
the info is sent from the program to the browser and how to cause it
to open in IE rather than FF. I'm hoping a Firefox techie might be
able to explain what happens when Firefox is made the default browser
and tell me if there's a way to distinguish between clicking on a URL
and opening data passed from the other program.

I'm sorry if this is a badly explained problem but I don't understand
enough to ask a clear question!

Paul
