I made and html file using Fireworks, it has hot spot with a pop-up list of links to my 6 favorite sites.. every thing works perfect but one thing, no matter what I do it insists on opening these links in IE, and I use Opera as my defualt browser, Opera will load for anything else... but not this, I even got into my registry and changed the entries for default HTML browser to Opera, and gave the path to the .exe (it should have been that way allready since it is my default, and works that way)

Any ideas on what else I can do, I so addicted to the features in Opera that I can't stand the idea of haveing to use IE unless needed.

Thanx
 
opera.com has some forums too, check the ones there for a solution, sorry i cant be of more help.

I would say you havn't correctly assoated Opera with the html links.

However if you have a site where I can preview the page I'll have a look.
 
Cool, I forgot about this thread since at first no one replied, thanx for the ideas guys,. I don't have it as a page some where, I'm just using it as an Active desk top with some quick links to my most visited sites.

Here's the code if you could look at it

Some one told me that because Active Desktop is actually part of IE, I might not be able to make it work with Opera, is that correct?

Thanx for any help

Ahhh, well yes Active Desktop is IE. Sorry but there is no way to get opera to load the URLs. It isn't quite correct to say that Active Desktop is part of IE, in fact Active Desktop uses IE to render HTML (there is quite a number of apps that do this, and many of them not MS).
