Strangely, I want it back how it was. My default browser is Opera and it
doesn't handle hotmail very well (it works, until you try to compose an
email!) so I want WLM to open hotmail in IE no matter what my default browser
is, is there some way to do this? (I'm on 2009 build 14.0.8050.1202)

Hi,

To the best of my knowledge so far there's no way to work around this in 2009, I have a few
thoughts about how it might be possible but I need to do some further research and testing.

I believe this could be filed under the "can't please everyone" department
