Choosing which browser opens up links from outlook emails?

[Robert3601]

How do I choose which browser open up email links from outlook 2000? I have 2
browsers installed IE and Firefox. I prefer IE and my son uses Firefox. I
want my email links to open up IE. They are going to Firefox. How can I
switch it back to the way it was? Thanks in advance for your advice.

Outlook should use the default browser of the system to open links. You
might want to have a wrestling match with your son to determine which
browser is going to be the default on the shared system. Either that or
setup different user logins so you can each have your own settings

Thank you. Do you know how I can reset it back or choose IE and my default
browser?

Ie's tools, options, programs, reset web settings. There should be a box to
always ask - so when you use the computer, open IE first and let it detect
if it's not default.
