Sick of OneNote opening all web links in IE Grant Robertson <BOGUS[ at ]BOGUS.com> 3/8/2007 4:31:35 PM 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.

Have you tried setting IE as the default browser, and then setting it back to FireFox?

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.

Re: Sick of OneNote opening all web links in IE Grant Robertson <BOGUS[ at ]BOGUS.com> 3/8/2007 10:24:51 PM 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?
