Hi

After installing XP, I go to start menu and I see Internet Explorer (on the pinlist) How do I turn IE into Firefox?

It is possible to turn outlook into thunderbird tho...

example:

CODE

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Clients\mail]
@="Mozilla Thunderbird"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Mozilla Thunderbird]
@="Mozilla Thunderbird"
"DLLPath"="C:\\PROGRA~1\\Mozilla Thunderbird\\mozMapi32.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Mozilla Thunderbird\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\PROGRA~1\\Mozilla Thunderbird\\thunderbird.exe,0"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Mozilla Thunderbird\shell\open\command]
@="C:\\PROGRA~1\\Mozilla Thunderbird\\thunderbird.exe -mail"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Mozilla Thunderbird\shell\properties]
@="Thunderbird &Options"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Mozilla Thunderbird\shell\properties\command]
@="C:\\PROGRA~1\\Mozilla Thunderbird\\thunderbird.exe -options"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Mozilla Thunderbird\protocols\mailto]
@="URL:MailTo Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Mozilla Thunderbird\protocols\mailto\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Thunderbird\\thunderbird.exe,0"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Mozilla Thunderbird\protocols\mailto\shell\open\command]
@="C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Thunderbird\\thunderbird.exe -compose \"%1\""

Please help me out!

thanks

YES THANK YOU BOTH! THATS EXACTLY WHAT I M LOOKING FOR!!!!!!!!!! YAY, you guys made another happy person.

Hmm doesnt work correctly, I see an Icon (like the unknownfile icons) but when I click on it, it says:

Error
Access is denied.

CODE

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;registry settings for firefox
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla]
@=""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox 1.0.4]
"GeckoVer"="1.0.1"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox 1.0.4\bin]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet\Firefox.exe\shell\open\command]
@="\\%PROGRAMFILES%\\Mozilla Firefox\\Firefox.exe"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail]
@="Hotmail"

anyone ideas?

edit: thats weird, when I started Firefox (from desktop), the Icon on the startmenu (pinlist) changed and now it is working...

Can someone explain why? And how to fix that?

Maybe I should Execute first or something like that?
Or is its because I just maded Firefox default then on the startmenu is activated?

(sorry for bad english)

@SimonSays

I'm trying to figure out why you have HKU\.DEFAULT entries. Do you want your logon screen to use firefox?
