I always have to specify to open with Internet Explorer or other programs
Original title: A link can not remember which program to start
I have a machine with Vista and and when I get an email with a link to the internet - a PDF file, a site, or something else, I can't just click on the link - a dialog box appears and I have to specify witch program to start with - I don't then tap Internet Explorer and check the "Allways" and click on OK - but next time I have to once again!I tried right click and use 'Open with' and still tick "Allways" - but same result!
How can I make the program witch visit remember to use in the future?
I don't know what Outlook Express - 110%!
It's a computer for my aunt and I distance control - me, he looked like initially to Vista, but need XP then.
But the problem is that he doesn't remember witch program to start when you click on a link - not only in a mail, but on the desktop too!
I tried to use 'Open with' and point to IE and checked "Always", but the next time she click it asks new witch program to start.
We had been going round in circles in 2 different threads. It all comes down to confusion about which operating system and subsequently e-mail you what program use.
If it's XP you use with Outlook Express e-mail program, please transfer to the XP forum.

When I open a bookmark a box appears that says "what should firefox with this file?" open with Internet Explorer? When I browse I don't find firefox to change. Last week this bookmark worked perfectly.
Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of your modules is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Modules > themes).
See the extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common troubleshooting Firefox problems and troubleshooting questions with plugins like Flash or Java to solve common Firefox problemsIf this does not work in safe mode and then disable all your extensions and then try to find out who is causing by allowing both the problem reappears.
You can use 'Disable all add-ons' on the start safe mode window.
You will need to close and restart Firefox after each change through "file > exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit") -

All of a sudden today when my son was using the computer that it was impossible for the operation of the internet, he told me & I checked out, but now when clicking on desktop shortcuts or try to open program files, it goes to 'Open with' & makes you choose a program to open with. Looks like a virus that affect executive function/programs? Can anyone help? I can't restore...b/c it's the same 'open with' I can only use internet if the opening of the bottom of the box "open with." Very frustrating and confusing to me. Word can open if I do it from a file on the c: / drive, but no, if I try to open the program.

I'm not all sounds with Firefox. I have a sound with Internet Explorer
Hi bholmes,.
Have you looked at the article Knowledge Base, what to do if Firefox will play all of the sounds? There are many good advice on troubleshooting in there. You might have its just accidentally disabled for Firefox.
There is also a chance it's a plugin problem. If the first article does not help, take a look at common audio problems and graphics issues.
Hope this helps!
