I've got my Mozilla suite (1.7.13) install set up as silent, and it works great, but I was wondering if anyone knows how to set the default browser/mail client during Mozilla install, or through the runonce. I would rather people didn't even see IE or Outlook to avoid temptation.

Great, that works perfectly for the browser. Thanks Ironside

I've used "mozilla.exe -silent -nosplash -setDefaultBrowser" and it silently makes Mozilla the default web browser.

I can't seem to find a flag to set Mozilla Mail as the default. I've tried variations with the "-mail" in different places but haven't had any luck. Anyone?
