Firebird & Thunderbird as the defaults?

[valkyre]

Alrighty, here's a new problem.

I'm able to have Firebird and Thunderbird copied to their proper directories during setup, however I'm trying to find a way to make them the default applications for both internet and email.

Anyone know of any registry entries or such that would remedy this problem?

Firebird has it in the options...(Tools -> Options) I don't have thunderbird(I use web based email) but, I would assume that you can use the same method...

Have you noticed what forum you're in newsgeek?

Yeah, I know about that.

So far I've only been able to track down a registry entry that makes Mozilla the default browser, but that doesn't help me much.

;Make mozilla the default browser.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.htm]
@="MozillaMarkup"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.html]
@="MozillaMarkup"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\ftp\shell\open\command]
@="C:\\Program Files\\mozilla.org\\Mozilla\\Mozilla.exe \"%1\""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\http\shell\open\command]
@="C:\\Program Files\\mozilla.org\\Mozilla\\Mozilla.exe \"%1\""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\https\shell\open\command]
@="C:\\Program Files\\mozilla.org\\Mozilla\\Mozilla.exe \"%1\""

(got that from webmedic)

Any ideas?

Your best bet is probably to use a registry tracking program to find out what changes are made when switching the default browser from IE to Firebird. Export those keys and you should be good
