Guest Jay Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 XP-Pro SP1 How do I change the default FTP browser from IE to something else? Currently when clicking an ftp:// link in an email, IE comes up. Thanks, Jay

If you look at Control Panel, Folder Options, File Types, one of the early file types is: ____________________________________________ | Extensions | File Types | |------------+------------------------------| | (None} | URL:File Transfer Protocol | |____________|______________________________| When I highlight it, click Advanced button, double-click "Open" (to edit), I see: Action: Open Application used to perform action: C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1\FIREFOX.EXE -requestPending -osint -url "%1" Use DDE DDE Message: "%1",,0,0,,,, Appliction: Firefox DDE Application Not Running: Topic: WWW_OpenURL This could be quite different for another ftp utility though. hth, -- Joe =o)

IE is firmly entrenched for whatever reason. Also, there is no setting for default in FireFTP extension for FF. Nor is there one for FTP in the FF preferences. Jay

That must be the default though since I've never looked in here before. Maybe something here: http://groups.google.com/groups/search?q=make+fireftp+default&qt_s=Search+Groups -- Joe =o)

FTP links in Thunderbird auto-open IE regardless of whatever else is the default browser. > Maybe something here: > > http://groups.google.com/groups/search?q=make+fireftp+default&qt_s=Search+Groups >
