ok, so when you click MSN mail IE opens up... how can i set MSN to open up my email in another Browser instead of IE? I use Opera as default so does anyone know how to change this from IE to Opera or even Firefox?

I haven't used MSN messenger for about 5 years, so my info may be out of date. But as far as I still know MSN is hardcoded to open up IE to fetch your hotmail. However - that doesn't mean you can't force it to work, but you need a few other programs to do it.

So, If you want Messenger to use FireFox do the following:

1. Dload and install MSN Messenger Plus! (Note: The "Allow Messenger Plus! to load plugins in my account" must be enabled in order for StuffPlug to work. It is enabled by default)
2. Dload and install StuffPlug .
3. Select the "Open Hotmail Inbox in default browser"
