I know for Firefox you can use %PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -silent -setDefaultBrowser to set it as the default browser is there a similar command for thunderbird?

I used the cmd file Doc Symbiosis gave. When I started Thunderbird everything was checked but newsgroup so that was left out and I still had to choose. I am looking over the cmd file and going to add entries for newsgroup.

This is what I use in my AutoIt script.

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\uninstall\helper.exe /SetAsDefaultAppGlobal
