Default Gah, Internet Links no longer works...

Hello,

When I click on Internet Links on my emails it goes to my c:\documents and
settings\user. How do you fix that so it will launch my main browser?

Thanks

Woot! More customization from Microsoft. I used to be able to use my main
browser to launch links from OE but I guess I gotta use IE again

Thanks for your help. It seems to have fixed my Media Player too LOL when I
made it the default Media player.
