Modding MSN messenger
 
Does anyone know of a way I could get into MSN messengers code and change the default browser start up.
Whenever I get a sign saying I have new mail, I click it and it opens in IE.
I want it to open in Mozilla.

Anyone know of a way?

Thanks.

Does setting Mozilla as your default browser in the control panel not do it?

If not you can get an add-on - http://www.stuffplug.com that allows you to do this.

Start>Control panel>Internet options - then click on the "Programs" tab. Untick "Internet explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser" (or have this ticked if you want it as your default). After that go to the browser you want be the default browser.

For example, Mozilla or Netscape should be:
Go to EDIT>PREFERENCES
Expand "Advance" then click on "System"
There choose the appropriate file types you want to associate it with Mozilla or Netscape.


ORRRRRRRRRRR

You can download setbrowser software from http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/setbrowser/

That wont work,

m$ will always open IE, no matter what you have ticked on or off in the make this you default browser, it is just the way it was designed, you may try to crack the program open and change the entry for IE, but that would be pointless. it is like when you try to send an email from msn, it always opens IE.

just my experience
