Unfortunately, I still have issues with certain applications always opening links in IE regardless of the default browser settings. The primary culprits on my machine are MSN Messenger and OneNote. Do you know of any way to fix this or is this just an issue where these applications don't properly obey default browser settings? Thanks, Joe. Great tip.
