Anyone have any ideas on how to change the application that is launched when the pointer is something like file://c:\temp\fred.html ? One of the desktops at work has Firebird installed as their browser and when we use teamcalendar in outlook, the web page opens in Firebird (which won’t work due to ocx problems). I need to open it in Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer HAS been set as the default web browser, and http:// web pages come up in ie ok. file ones insist on launching in firebird. the file types option in Explorer doesn’t seem to handle the file:// option so I can’t work out what I need to change.

Right click on the file, then go to properties.
Under the general tab you should see
opens with: Click the button that says change and point it to IE and it should work fine.
It might be a bit different process if you’re not using XP but it should be located in the same general area.
