How can I make Thunderbird be my default e-mail progrm?

Mac Mail does not work well with my satellite system and Internet Service Provider. Thunderbird works much better. However, iPhoto does not recognize Thunderbird. The only two choices it gives me are Mac Mail and Entourage. How can I add Thunderbird as a choice or make Thunderbird my default. I have thrown away Mac Mail and still neither iPhoto nor some important websites I deal with will recognize Thunderbird. There doesn't seem to be any setting in Thunderbird which will make it the default e-mail program.
Thanks

It's normally done in Mail's General preferences. But since you trashed it, use this freeware instead.

You might be able to use this tool to change the header of your MOD files so they are seen as 16:9: http://www.videohelp.com/tools/DVDPatcher
Or use this program (SDCopy) to download the video's from the cam, it will allow you to copy straight from the cam to your PC and auto renames and corrects the aspect ratio.

Perhaps it’s a design feature to speed up the Organizer launch.
I am sure it is.
- The normal use of the Organizer is not the folder view, it's the thumbnail view with an organization based on categories and folder. That way you should forget completely where your pictures are stored. Anyway, the folder view in the Explorer is not a map of the location of the different bits of your file, it's only a logical representation. That's easy to see when you are doing a defragmentation.
- The folder view is useful even for those using normally the thumbnail view, but that is only for rare cases when you must change the folder organization, for instance moving files to another drive. The folder view is here to prevent you from changing things from the explorer and outside of the Organizer.
- The new folder list view, which you find 'funny' is there to help better organizing using tags. Its huge advantage is that such a view is created extremely quickly by extracting the last subfolder in the media table : it's the way the database sees the folders, based on its own content, totally ignoring the complex folder organization of your disk with media files or any unrelated other kind of data. You should use it in many cases, the main purpose being assigning tags when you have assigned descriptive folder names. I had suggested such a solution to prevent the long standing bugs in the folder view of previous versions.
So yes, the purpose is:
- to speed up switching modes
- to help folder organization fans to migrate to tags organization
- to hopefully get rid of the old folder organization bugs

How can I make Thunderbird start auto with windows start-up

how can I make Thunderbird start auto with windows start-up

You can by placing a short cut in the windows startup folder, just like any other windows program.
However if you do you are likely to encounter problems as downloading mail while the anti virus is still loading and the network is busy announcing your machines arrival to the network ( which might be a network of one) and any of a dozen other program are loading is fraught with risk of timeouts and server disconnections as well as error messages that make little sense because they are about something that is still loading.
So the bottom line is sure you can, but if there are issues take it back out of there as a first step.

How can I make google my real default search engine?

Yes, I have set Google as my preferred search engine in Safari Preferences.
But when I try to do things such as define a word, it uses Bing.
Frankly, I do not care for Bing.

Thanks

How can I make thunderbird use firefox?

I have gone to control panel and made FireFox my defualt and tried everything I could find on the internet to make FireFox the default for Thunderbird, but Thunderbird still uses I.E. 8. How can I fix this?

I have tried those suggestions, they are correct when checked. So far the only time Firefox has been opened by a link from inside of an email, ws the link to this site.

How can I make new iCal events default to 1 hour long?

Please help me love my iCal again. How can I set it up so that the default for a new event is an hour long instead of EIGHT?!? Why on earth does iCal think a new event should be eight hours long? It's especially annoying at night. Add a new event at 9PM and iCal sets an end for 5AM and rolls it into the next day, which means I have to change the end time and change the end date every time I add a new event.
Seriously, who designed this thing? Here's a perfect example of bad design (which, coming from Apple is shocking!): In the menu, click New Event. Does iCal create a new event? No. It draws a box arrow pointing to the big plus sign. Are we sure Microsoft didn't design this thing?
I'm a diehard Mac Guy for over 17 years. But I must say, I'm disappointed with some aspects of Lion. Yikes. (sorry... I needed to vent!)

I probably should have noted that I'm using iCal in the month view. Maybe that's why my iCal thinks every new event is eight hours long? The previous iCal didn't behave this way.
And, yes, a menu item titled New Event that opens a box where I can create a new event rather than actually creating a New Event is bad design. It adds extra steps. It feels like a Microsoft thing where you click on something and then get asked if that's really what you wanted to do. When I click New Event, I want a new event to open so I can input the details including calenrar, alarm, repeating data, notes, etc. Sure, if I wanted a quick option, I'd go for the + sign to add one. But when it comes to having to change calendars or add extra info, making me go through extra steps is poor design.
There's a lot to like in the new iCal, but pushing the app away from design simplicity for VISUAL simplicity is poor design for a desktop OS app. On a three inch screen like the iPhone, it makes perfect sense. It's brilliant, in fact. But on a desktop OS? I completely understand the idea of merging iOS with OS X, but a motorcycle is not a tractor trailer even though they both have engines. To treat them as such is poor design.
Another example: in iCal, it's easy to hide calendars you may not need to see. That's a great feature. In the previous iCal, there was a pane that showed which calendars were visible and which were not. Now, if you're looking at a month, you have no way of seeing that there may also be more events that are hidden without clicking the calendars for a popup to display which are visible and which are not. I'm no Mac basher. I have a series of the black & white "Think Different" prints framed and hanging on my walls. I love Apple, but the new iCal is poor design.

How can I make Skype Desktop the default for Call: links in MS Outlook?

How can I persuade MS Outlook to use Skype Desktop for Call: links (such as those for phone numbers in a Contact Card)? Right now it is using Skype for Business to open them (I have both Skype Desktop and Skype for Business - formerly Lync - installed) and I need to use Skype Desktop by default instead.

How can I make Elements 9 my default to open picture files with?

After using Elements 12 for a months trial and then uninstalling it, I can no longer find Elements 9 listed when I right click on a picture file and select "open with". How can I restore it to my list of programs with which I can open the file. I'm using Windows 8 which list aps and some other programs but not Elements 9.

When you choose "Open With" migrate to the folder of PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe location and choose .exe to open images with . The photoshopelementseditor.exe is present at location "C:/Program Files (x 86)/Adobe/Photoshop Elements 9/PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe.
