Sick of OneNote opening all web links in IE

[Grant Robertson]

Is there some way to force OneNote 2007 RTM to stop using IE to open all
the links? It didn't do this with the ON 07 trial. It just started doing
it with the RTM version.

My Internet Options are definitely set to use Firefox and other links in
other software - including Word 2003 - use Firefox properly. I don't want
to hear any BS about how this was necessary. That argument is a total
crock.

Is there some registry hack I can use? I'd even be willing to install an
"add-on" for OneNote to fix this "feature." I really hate the new
interface in IE 7 but I don't dare stick with IE 6 for security reasons.
I just don't want to be forced to use IE when I don't want to.

OneNote is only using FireFox for me. Have you tried setting IE as the
default browser, and then setting it back to FireFox?

Yup. I didn't try rebooting in between though. Sometimes you even gotta
change some things back and forth a few times before they take. I have
just gotten so cynical about Microsoft and their anti-competitive
behavior that I assumed it was yet another attempt to slide one by the
courts. So once I tried the usual stuff, I just got pissed and gave up.

Are you using IE 6 or 7? Since it's you, I'm guessing 7.

So I just set IE as default, rebooted, set it back to Firefox, and
rebooted again. I'm still stuck with IE.

Anyone else having this problem?

Anyone want to join with me in a class-action lawsuit?

LOL. Good guess. IE7 and FF2. I open IE7 hardly ever though, and cringe
every time I have to.
