Links open in IE even when FF is default?

Okay this is more annoying than anything else, but Firefox is my default
browser. However, whenever I click on links in email, ims, etc, they always
open in IE. Since I want to make sure all my bookmarks are in one place
(Firefox), how the heck do I change this? I haven't been able to find any
options for default browser in WLM or im software?

Running Vista home premium by the way.

Thanks!
Lori

Click Start, select Default Programs
Click Set program access and computer defaults
Click Custom, and select Mozilla Firefox
Click OK

Then, follow these steps:

Click Set your default programs
Select Mozilla Firefox
Click Set this program as default
Click OK

Thanks a ton! That worked like a charm! Never checked out out that panel
before.
