lol you can THINK you did but you really didnt. you gotta reinstall it? wanna know why? cause windows depends on IE. in more ways than you think. you could remove it if you had 9x but NT its impossible to truely remove it. :) |

yesh regedit is always your friend to fix things like this, but you have know what the hell you're doing before editing it. if not, you can really up your computer in many ways.
well back to topic, maybe microsoft changed the way they format their registry in vista. not sure. |

i don't know if you should edit these with regedit. what you can do is create a "New Text Document" and name it either "foo.mhtml", "foo.mht", or "foo.url", and try to tell your machine to open the file using a specific program with the "Open With" command. Either that, or if you have the balls to do it,
code:
#For .mhtmlfile (.mht and .mht)
old: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mhtmlfile\shell\open\command\(Default) = "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome
New: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mhtmlfile\shell\open\command\(Default) = [Your Firefox destination]
#For .url
Old: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut\shell\open\command(Default) = rundll32.exe shdocvw.dll,OpenURL %l
New: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut\shell\open\command\(Default) = [Your Firefox destination]
Try replacing [Your Firefox destination] with [ [firefox destination] -url "%1" -requestPending"]
