weblinks in e-mail program always opens IE and desire a change.

My Windows Mail program has hundreds of stored messages with dozens of links.
When a link is clicked on it opens IE.
I removed IE 9.0 last night and I was given a message that the previous version of IE would still be on my system. It's IE 7.0.

I desire to try Firefox more often, and how do I get Firefox to open these links contained in these e-mails, instead of IE 7.0. I assume some default setting in Vista, not sure.

I saw not settings within the browser tools and options. (which is IE 7.0)

Control panel > defaults worked fine

Thanks, and I had IE 9.0 before today and IE 9.0 had always opened the links.

So there are two ways to change the default.
