I downloaded Opera to see how it compared to Firefox...must say, I like Firefox.
However, somehow Opera got linked to my Outlook program so instead of links received in emails that used to open in firefox or IE...now defaults to Opera.
I would prefer it still go to IE or Firefox.
Anyone know how I can de-link Opera from being the Outlook web default? Maybe the easiest would be just to remove Opera, which I guess is an option.
Thanks

Opera probably made itself the default browser during its setup. Both IE and Firefox have options that say something along the lines of "check to see if I am the default browser". Enable that option and restart the browser of your choice.

It worked! Thanks. Opera must have set itself up as the default when I downloaded it....

Yes Opera set itself as default, you have to watch for that on install and uncheck it if you don't want that option.
Winamp and RealOne players, along with a few other apps do the same thing unless you uncheck that option. You have to pay attention to the directions when doing any program install.

Opera is my fav, it's the fastest. Also have Firefox and IE which is almost never use anymore when running Windows.
