    When I click on a URL in OE, I get to Internet Explorer. However, I use MyIE which is a front end for IE with some advantages.

    Where can I change the OE option? I guess it is the same place I would use to chain to Netscape, Mozilla or the like.

    This is a "file association" issue that can be changed in Windows Folder Options->File Types.

    I don't have my notes here to be able to tell you which one to change..

    Sounded right so I went thru the entire list of filetypes and changed all the ones showing the IE icon to MyIE. Didn't make any difference. Still came up in straight IE.

    Is MyIE set as your default browser?
