How do I get internet addresses typed into the Run dialog box to open in Firefox and not IE?

I'm a mechanic and my parts supplier brought me this promotion USB button which takes me directly to their special offers page.
Basically it's a preprogrammed USB keyboard that presses the Windows key + R, then types their internet address in.
However, even though Firefox is my default browser, this link opens in Internet Exploder. IE is verboten on any PC I use!
How do I set the PC to use Firefox for EVERYTHING, including/especially addresses typed into the Run command box?
WIndows Vista on this one (I know, it's not my choice, it came with it).

Thanks. That fixed it. I use WIndows XP on all of my own machines - but this one is the boss's.
On XP, once you set a default program, it stays like that. Vista seems to have a mind of it's own.

  • How do I get my tabs back into the main window?

    I've had a problem with an add-on displaying a small extra window every time I open a session for some months now: I know you're supposed to try disabling and re-enabling every add-on you've got to find out which one is responsible, but this is a work computer and with all the add-ons I have, it would take too long, so I've just closed the extra window every time and got on with my work. However, for some reason today my forty-odd tabs have all opened in the small extra window, which has no tab bar, navigation bar or menu button. How do I get my tabs back into the main window of Firefox, or alternatively get that window to behave like a normal Firefox window so I can use it?

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

    How can I get my data from a old iPad to a new iPad using iCloud and not iTunes

    Restore from the iCloud backup - assuming that you were backing up to iCloud in the first place. If you weren't using iCloud for backup - then you are out of luck.
    If you were backing up to iCloud - you have to erase all contents on the iPad in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings - before you can restore from the iCloud backup.

  • After the latest two updates, whenever Firefox starts, the print dialog box appears automatically. Why, and how do I stop this?

    Not much else to add. The print dialog box just opens every time Firefox is started or restarted.

    Check the Home page setting:
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • My iTunes downloads were made using my old gmail address.  I had to quit using this email address as it got hacked.  I created a new gmail account.  How can I get my iTunes downloads into the new gmail account?

    My iTunes downloads were made using my old gmail address.  I had to quit using this address  as it got hacked.  How do I get my iTunes downloads into my new iTunes account that was created with a new gmail address?  In my old iTunes account (with the old gmail address,  I can't 'update' my email address or even 'add an alternate address' as I had already created this gmail account and inputting the new address into iTunes gives me the 'pop-up' that 'this account is already in use.'   Advice please!

    Good luck. It took me weeks to fix this when I had to do it. Your old ID branches out in lots of places. You may have to delete app and get them again, at least that is what Apple told me. Plus, all of your settings on your iPad that required any ID, will have to be changed. My old ID kept showing up in different places for weeks. Changing it on Apple.com is just the beginning.

  • How do I get my songs out of the cloud?  Seems like there are issues and won"t let me sync..

    How can I get my songs out of the cloud?  Seems like there are issues, any new purchased songs are not syncing with Ipod 3rd generations.

    Do you have the original installation disc(s) that shipped with your MacBook? You're just going to have to start from scratch - as I doubt that you can recover any files without paying a fortune. Insert the installations disc, reformat your hard drive and then install the OS that came with your computer. Continue updating to 10.6.8 and then redownload and reinstall Mountain Lion again.
    That's really the only way you're going to get your machine up and running again. I would also consider buying an inexpensive external drive to use as a backup in case your brother decides to do something stupid again.

  • My screenshots have stopped going to my clipboard. How can I get my screenshots back into the clipboard?

    I use Command (⌘)-Shift-4 to grab screenshots of diagrams to make flashcards with on a daily basis. But now my screenshots have stopped going to my clipboard - and they don't paste into my flashcards.
    Dropbox popped up and asked me if I wanted to use it to save my screenshots and I said No Thanks, but then right after that my screenshot function stopped working. I can still save shots to my desktop, but I'd love to not clutter my desktop.  The screenshots are not going to dropbox either, I checked.
    Can someone tell me how to get my screenshots to go back to going into my clipboard?
    Thanks!

    Thanks Lanny! I actually typed in the wrong command into my question - I meant to type what you mentioned. But I did end up figuring it out: for some reason the shortcut to screenshot into my clipboard changed. I was able to restore all my shortcut commands back to default and it worked again!
    Thanks!

  • How can I get Lightroom 5.7 into the "Open With" menu on an external Harddrive?

    Using Lightroom 5.7, I imported photo images as a .dng.  I edited the images in lightroom.  Then I dragged the file from the local Disk (C) to an external Hard drive (left panel of Library).  When I look in the External harddrive, I would like to see thumbnails of the images. I think I would like to open the images in Lightroom but I cannot get Lightroom into the "Open With" dropdown menu.  Photo shop, Adobe Reader and a bunch of Windows photo editing stuff is in there but I cant seem to get Lightroom into this menu. 

    The "open with" command is used to open images that are already in Lightroom in another external editor such as Photoshop or Photoshop Elements or some other photo editing program. And you are opening an image that you are already seeing in Lightroom. So Lightroom won't be on the list and cannot be on the list because you are already looking at the images in Lightroom.
    Concerning the images that you moved to the external hard drive, if you actually moved them using Lightroom then you should be able to see that external hard drive in the library module library tree and be able to choose that folder. Then the images will be in Lightroom and you can continue working on them. There doesn't need to be any "open with" to do that. If you moved those images some other way, please explain.

  • How do I get iTunes 11 back into the taskbar player?

    I had the taskbar player for iTunes 10, and it was perfect. I'm using Windows 7, and now that I've updated to iTunes 11 I can't get the taskbar player back.
    The mini player is just not at all as useful as the taskbar player is, and I want the taskbar player back!! How do I get it to do it? I've followed all the steps that worked for iTunes 10.
    All the threads in the forums are years old, and not helpful to me.

    It's worth noting that the program ONLY minimizes to the taskbar player when you use the minimize button in the upper toolbar - a ridiculous thing now, since it didn't have a problem realizing that I wanted it to minimize to the taskbar player in 10 even when I minimized it by clicking on the program icon in the taskbar.
    Is it always going to stay this finicky?!

  • How to advoid Pdf attached files turning into winmail.dat file causing incovinience opening them? And why does the phone automatically changes the file???

    The first time i opened the mail, the mail loaded the attactment as pdf file and i was able to open it without any problems. But then when i tried to open it again, i watched the phone automatically turned the pdf file into winmail.dat without any of my control. Since then, i werent able to open the file anymore!

  • Elements 10  - How do I get video media imported into the timeline to be visible?

    When any video media is imported into Premiere elements 10 I get a white screen (i.e. no video) and only the audio plays.   It does not matter if the files are Mpeg4 or mts.   I have routinely used Elements 9, 10 & 11.  This is a new 64bit machine and this is the only time this has occurred.

    If you are one of those Premiere Elements 10 users whose computer works with a NVIDIA video card, please read through the thread in which I have been compiling "what has worked for others" related to this Premiere Elements NVIDIA video card display problem. If you have NVIDIA video card and you can find it mentioned in the thread, please try the roll back information given by another version 10 user with the same card as yours.

  • If I import a CD onto iTunes with tracks that have more than one person on (eg Rihanna ft Drake), it puts these tracks in a separate album. How do I get them all back into the same album?

    It's done it with a load of cds, so then I can't even get the album artwork to work. Please help! It's starting to bug me haha

    In iTunes select all songs you want in the same album, right click the selection, choose "get info", type the album name in the album field, click OK.

  • How do I get missing photos back into the Organizer?

    Just a few days ago I had about twelve folders of photos in my Organizer. Now I have only two folders that have content. When I click on the other ten folders I see this message in the Media Browser, "No media to be displayed."
    I have both Adobe Premiere Elements 11 and Photoshop 11 which I got three weeks ago. The only thing new on my computer is the software that came with my Nikon camera - NX2 - a photo storage and photo editing program. My photos are still in my Windows Pictures program.

    You must have moved files outside of Organizer using Explorer or Finder.
    Try using File >> Reconnect >> All Missing Files
    otherwise use
    File >> Get Photos & Videos >> From Files & Folders
    Then navigate to the new location.
