How can I make Outlook use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer and can I turn IE off without hurting anything else on my machine?

I would like to use Firefox for Outlook Express. I can't find an option in Outlook or Firefox to make Firefox the default to access the web for email through the mail client. Also, is there a way to stop IE so that it isn't used at all by any program in my machine? Thanks CajunReb

Hey cajunreb,

Take a look at the article Make Firefox your default browser. This will make Firefox the default browser and outlook should respect this setting as well.

Hopefully this helps!

Matt,

I've tried that. When I go to outlook express, then to tools, options, then connections tab, it says "Outlook shares your connections with Internet Explorer, click the change button to modify these settings", but I don't see a way to do that. It just offers the option of changing settings for connecting to the internet, not which browser.

I'm stumped
