Can anyone tell me how i force vista/windows to open IE 7 and display a site
when i click on a url contained in an e-mail?

Currently i have both IE7 and Mozilla Firefox on the hard disk and live
mail always attempts to open the url in Mozilla

Re: links in windows mail

Most people have the opposite problem. :-)
Open the Default Programs applet, which you can access either from
the Start menu or via the Control Panel, then click the first item:
"Set your default programs."
After a few seconds, a list of programs comes up. Click on "Internet
Explorer". If it doesn't respond with "This program has all its defaults"
then fix it by clicking on the option indicated by the first green arrow.
