I use hotmail as my primary email and when I am logged into MSN I get a notification that I have a new email and I click on it, it brings up MS Exporer, even though my default brower is Mozilla Firefox (far suppior) anybody know if there is a way to fix this, or am I stuck using exporer for my hotmail??


thanks....

as far as i know your stuck with it, happens to me to, i think thats just the way it is

JetStorm

yea your stuck because opening explorer is hard coded into the program. It doesn't look for the default browser, it goes right to the explorer exe.

download msnplus and configure it to use your default browser

u can get msn plus from www.msgplus.net

why bother just clicking the e-mail window
just log onto hotmail with firefox :P
that can help, i know its going to be a bit more of hassle, but thats an alternative

manually loggin onto hotmail is a PITA especially when u get a msn pop up that says u got a new email from this uber fine chick and clickin that pop up would be so much quicker than opening a new window or tab and typing in www.hotmail.com then ur usern name and password

is it posisble to "remove" IE? that would solve the problem haha

I downloaded MSN plus, but can't seem to find where the option is to use the default browser?? is it a plug in or something??
thanks

why do you have to type in the user name and password? Mozzilla logs into hotmail for me! Nobody can really complain about having to type www.hotmail.com. Look at how much typing you all do on here! On a side note i find that with mozzilla i don't get any emoticons or that menu bar that they are in while using hotmail

download and install the stuffplug from www.stuffplug.com I believe the msn fix is in that plugin

and brett, when u rock 2 msn messengers with different usernames u gotta put in the password or u would keep goin into the same hotmail box

Brett

I Cynikal i see what you are saying... i don't use msn very much cuz im not a big fan of talking to people all the time when im on the computer!

leave it to Cynikal to download 7 programs, alter umpteen different settings, crack windows twice and code his own superstructure to save typing a 7 letter URL.

Your Awesome cynkal!!
