Whenever I install a new program, vista always wants to use the original default program. E.g. I have installed firefox and every time firefox loads it asks me whether I want to make it the default program. I always choose yes. Then I close it. The start menu internet has not been changed from internet explorer. I then open firefox again and it asks me the same message. This is true for many applications.

It is the same with Utorrent. I work a lot from home and the only way I manage to get my work done is using a .torrent file to transfer my work to other clients. This always asks me whether i want to make it the default application but I didnt think vista had a default application to use torrents!

So UAC asks for permission to open firefox all of a sudden. I think after an update on the browser it started to do it. It is really annoying and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it... Any suggestions?

Thanks much!

Hi can anybody help me make firefox and thunderbird stay the default email program and webbrowser?? On my start menu they are set as the defaults but when ever I start the programs they ask to be made the default.

I am running vista home premium.

Thanx in advance

Then how come my Microsoft applications only open links in Internet Explorer?I'm hating Microsoft more and more as I explore the... wonders... of Vista.

Firefox 3Previously I was using Firefox 2 and was happy with its performance. Then I downloaded the latest version Firefox 3.0 on world download day. More than 22 million downloads are done till now. Earlier I used to tweak my browser to optimize it for the best performance. Now I am experimenting with the optimization tricks on the latest version. I am sharing them with you here. However I am a little disappointed with the extension compatibilities of the latest version. I guess I will need to re-install most of the extensions I was using with the earlier version.
