Resolved How undo "Open in Internet Explorer"

I recently added Fire Fox in addition to IE7 and use FF as my default browser.

One of my shortcuts, I chose the option to "Open in Internet Explorer" and now whenever I click on it, it opens in FF and then switches to IE like it should.

How do I undo this if I want to go back to opening in FF?

 

Evan,

Thanks but FF is already the default browser. The option to override the default and open up in IE is what I am referring to. I selected that option in a few of my shortcuts because they work better in IE.

What I want to know is how to undo that selection for a single shortcut. The rest of my shortcuts still default to FF properly.

 

Delete that shortcut and create a new one.

 

Deleting the shortcut doesn't help.

After deleting, I opened FF, changed the url to the particular website, and as soon as it loaded it automatically switched to IE.

There must be a hidden file or addon somewhere where it keeps track of these things.

 

What's the URL?

 

The url is http://www.etftrends.com/

 

Try this:

1. Right-click any blank spot on your Desktop and select New > Shortcut
   
   
2. In the "Type the location of the item:" box,
   
   
   • if you're running Windows 7, type in (or copy & paste):
     
     
     "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://www.etftrends.com/​
   • if you're running Windows XP, type in (or copy & paste):
     
     
     "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://www.etftrends.com/​
   and then click the [Next] button.
   
   
3. In the "Type a name for this shortcut:" box, type in (or copy & paste):
   
   
   ETF Trends​
   
   and click the [Finish] button.
   
   
4. Now click your new "ETF Trends" shortcut on your Desktop to test.

 

SpywareDr,

Yes, that works too.
Thanks for the tip.
