Visio default "viewer" (Links from within SPS/MOSS)

I am trying to open Visio documents by clicking the links, but they will only
open in IE. They are not required to be checked out, so the edit option is
not an issue at this point. I just cannot get them to open in Visio. I have
tried on one machine with both IE7 and Firefox and it works normally. I
cannot find any settings in Visio 2007, IE7, or anywhere else.

Thanks in advance

Use the Open With menu, if Visio is not on the list then Choose
Program.

Have you checked out the Folders options to ensure that VSD file extensions
are opened by visio?

Just to be sure, I have checked the extension, but the problem comes when I
click the link from the SharePoint portal. I'm not 100% if this is a Visio
issue, IE issue, OS issue, or what. With PDF's, it was easy, I just
unchecked the box to display in browser.

Whenever I click on a Visio document from Windows Explorer, they open up as
they should. The issue I am trying to solve now is only when I click on a
document link from within the MOSS/SPS portal.
