My yahoo mail is going to windows explorer and I want firefox for default

I found my e-mail on internet explorer instead of firefox. this is mail from my on-line school that I need to have it on mozilla firefox. and I thought firefox was my default browser.

Type your Yahoo Mail URL into firefox location bar. After page is fully loaded, click the star at the right end of the location bar to add to favorites (bookmark). Then for easiest, quickest access, click and drag the Yahoo icon from the beginning (left end) of the location bar down to the favorites bar (bookmark tool bar). This creates 1-click access to Yahoo mail.
Yahoo mail as home page (Windows 7). Start menu, control panel, network & internet, internet options, change your home page.
To make firefox your default browser: Start menu, control panel, programs, default programs, set default programs, click on firefox, click "make default browser".

  • Downloaded Firefox 4.0, get server error 404 & can't access Yahoo mail. It opens with Explorer & on desktop with Mozilla 3

    Downloaded Firefox 4.0, to Dell Lat D630 on 4/9/11
    Get server error 404 & can't access Yahoo mail.
    It opens with Explorer & on networked desktop with Mozilla 3.6
    tried all fixes suggested by Support @ Customer Service
    No resolution to the access problem today 4/21/11. Do I reinstall 3.6 & delete 4.0? I understand this access problem is common to 4.0 users.

    I did some additional testing through Proxy 4. All web sites and web pages including secure sites that I tried accessing over the past couple of days all appear to work fine with the exception of the forementioned sites. Access to these specific web pages (which I cannot currently access) are part of our day-to-day business requirements, and therefore will prevent me from using Proxy version 4.0 as our production proxy unless I can figure out why these web pages won't load, and how to fix the problem.
    As an experiment, I tried to access these web pages through Proxy 4 with Mozilla FireFox and Netscape 7. None of these web browsers (including Internet Explorer) will bring up these web pages when going through Proxy 4. But bypassing the proxy or going through our v3.6 proxy works fine for these web pages everytime, and with all browsers. This leads me to believe that this web page access problem is not a browser specific problem, but something in Proxy 4 isn't processing the request to display the page properly.
    As a reference, the web site in question is http://www.sunlife.ca. On the left hand side of the page go to "Sign In" then "Plan Members". Thats where the request hangs through Proxy 4 no matter which browser I use, including Netscape... but works perfectly fine with Proxy v3.6.
    Can someone who is running a version 4 Proxy also please try to access the SunLife Members login page and see if it works or fails for you?
    Thanks

  • I can't access my Yahoo mail on Iphone 4s over wifi at work. "Checking for mail" is going on forever. Any idea?

    I can't access my Yahoo mail on Iphone 4s over wifi at work. "Checking for mail" is going on forever. Any idea?

    You cannot change the incoming mail ports on the iPhone,  As KiltedTim mentions, if it works elsewhere on 3g and wifi, then it almost certainly is your employers firewall blocking access.

    2 days in a row i was on the phone with verizon. my mail is intermitly being sent to my phone. anybody else having that problem?

    First try this solution:
    Re-validate the integrated account. To do this, complete the following steps:
    Log in to the BlackBerry Internet Service account.
    Beside the invalid integrated email account, an icon of an envelope with a red line through it will be displayed. Click the icon.
    If you are still having the issue then you would go thru steps of :

  • User cannot access redirected Documents folder, but can connect to share in Windows Explorer and access folder on server

    I am in the final stages of a cross-forest migration.  Users have Windows 7 workstations with redirected folders on a Windows Server 2012 box running in the old forest.  User accounts were not migrated.  The accounts in use have always
    been in the "new" forest.  One of our challenges was the large volume of data in redirected folders.  I made sure users in the target forest had continued to have access to their redirected folders in the old forest and robocopied
    the entire users share, copying the permissions with the files.  By doing incremental robocopies, we can get a final copy done now in about six hours.  The plan was simple: copy the files, do an incremental copy every night, on the night of the cutover
    change the folder redirection policy Documents path from
    \\oldserver\users\%USERNAME% to
    \\newserver\users\%USERNAME%. The policy is configured to NOT copy user files from the existing folder to the new redirected folder.  Everything was going well until I tested the policy change.  After the folder redirection policy is updated
    and applied, the user cannot access the private Documents folder.  For example, user Chester Tester logs on as ctester.  I open Windows Explorer and click the Documents shortcut.  I see one subfolder, which is subfolder of Public Documents. 
    So I can look at Public Documents but when I click on the Documents folder (Under the Documents library link) I get an access denied error.  Now for the kicker, if I open another Windows Explorer window and edit the address bar to
    \\newserver\users\ctester, I can navigate the Documents folder tree and see my thousands of documents. What the ....?
    I'm hoping this is something really simple to fix!
    TIA

    HI Vivian,
    Thank you for your reply.  Yes, the path in Group Policy Folder Redirection Root Path was updated to
    \\NEWSERVER\users.  I had planned to point this to the distributed file system, so the first used was actually
    \\domain\dfs\users.  To simplify things I have backed off to copying to just a normal share
    \\newserver\users. 
    We are using BASIC folder redirection and we create a folder for each user under the root path. 
    We did not want the policy to move content, as we were seeing users requiring 15-20 minute logon times  (or higher) after the policy is changed.
    Grant the User exclusive right to Documents - Disabled
    Move the contents of Documents to the new location - Disabled
    Related folder settings
    Video - Follow Documents
    Music - Follow Documents
    Pictures - Follow Documents
    Now when I change the folder redirection from old server to new server I now have TWO My Documents folders in the user's redirection folder on the server.  The redirected Documents points to an empty folder set.  The copied folders with all user
    data are there, but folder redirection refuses to recognize the original folder.
    I am looking at the full view of the folder, nothing hidden, so I'm wondering how a folder can have two subfolders with the exact same name.  For now, I just want the redirection to move from the old server to the new server properly.  I deleted
    the new My Documents folder, rebooted the user's workstation and tried again.  The behavior repeats itself, i.e., a new My Documents folder is always created when the redirection policy is changed from the old server to the new server.  The environment
    has about 1500 users with approximately 1.3TB of data in the redirected Documents folders.  OUCH!

    Hi iTunes-1,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The error message you posted indicates a possible firmware update is needed for iTunes for Windows to work with your CD drive.  
    iTunes for Windows: Updating the firmware on your CD or DVD drive - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201852
    Having outdated firmware can cause issues using CDs and DVDs with iTunes for Windows. Firmware is a type of software stored in a chip in hardware that can sometimes be updated.Identifying drives and firmware versions
    To run CD Diagnostics, follow the steps in this document.
    After following the steps to run CD Diagnostics linked above, look at section three to find out more about your optical drive(s).
    Here is an example of what section three might look like:
    In this example there are two drives. Drive E is a Samsung DVD-ROM drive with a model designation of SD-616 that has firmware version F000. Drive F is an NEC drive with a model designation of NR-7900A that has firmware version 1.08.Updating the firmware
    If the optical drive you are using came with your computer, check with the support site for your computer for a firmware update. Typically you will need to go to the support website for the computer maker and click on a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your computer model designation and operating system version to see what updates are available. Then look through the available updates for a firmware update for your optical drive. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of your computer.
    If the optical drive you are using came as a separate part (was not included with a computer), check the support site for the drive maker for a firmware update. Sometimes the manufacturer is not clear in the CD Diagnostics results. In that case, you may just have to search the Internet for the drive model designation. You can usually find out who made the drive by looking through the results of such a search. Once you have identified who made your drive, go to the support website for that company. Look for a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your optical drive model designation. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of the optical drive.Verifying that the firmware was updated
    Run CD Diagnostics again.
    Examine the CD Diagnostics results. The firmware version for the drive should be the new version.

    Also, you mentioned that you have been successful burning a CD with the Windows OS.  Make sure that you have closed all software programs that can access the CD burner so that there isn't a conflict for the drive.   Sometimes chaning the burn speed from "maximum" to 8x can also help in this situation.
    I hope this information helps ...

  • How to restrict users working on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2

    Dear All,
    We are having an infrastructure setup of around 500 client computers managed through group policy.
    Recently the domain controllers have been migrated from Windows Server 2003 to Server 2008 R2.
    Since this account requires extremely strict environment, we need to figure the solution for restricting the users from access anything locally.
    It would be great if you can assist me with the following query.
    How to restrict users logged on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and browsing other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2 ?
    Can we disable Network Tab on the left hand pane ?

    You cannot block explorer.exe when you do not replace the shell - the
    desktop you see effectively IS explorer.exe...
    Your requirement sounds like you need a custom shell:

    I am trying to update ipod touch from ios 4.3.2 to ios 6.1.3.  I have it connected to my computer, and the summary in itunes indicates the update is available.  However, when I click "update", it opens Windows Explorer and waits for a file name to open.

    I am not at that computer now, but I did check via windows update & with the check updates menu choice in the itunes program  - neither indicated a newer version of itunes is available. (it is a vista computer).
    The itunes software on the computer displays my ipod & the current ios (4.3.2), and indicates a newer ios is available (6.1.3). When I choose "update", I am taken to Windows Exploer and prompted to choose a file to open. it is as if the "update" button has the incorrect code attached to it.
    The ipod is working, but there are several app I would like to install, but I can't with the current ooperating system.

  • ITunes Freezing Both Windows Explorer and Itself!

    Hello!
    I understand that this has been happening a lot lately due to the new iTunes version (or rather, the newest version of Quicktime?). I'm a little afraid to reinstall iTunes now because as of recently, it's been freezing up my Windows Explorer and genuinely messing up my entire PC. I've had to do a factory reset to it twice in order for me to actually use my computer again...
    So, I was wondering if there was actually a fix for this now. And if there isn't, are there any ways to avoid having my PC rendered useless?
    Here are my PC specs, btw:

  • Windows 7 Windows explorer and IE 8 resize perporty

    Hi ALL
    I got a problem that when I open the windows explorer/ IE8 in small size monitor like 15"  and then I log on the same  windows on another size monitor like 19". The Windows explorer / IE8 will keep the small size of windows.
    is it the property of Windows? If so, can it be any disable this functions.
    Best regards and thanks
    Cyril

    Hi Cyril,
    Maffiow provides a good suggestion. You may check the properties of the short cut first.
    In addition, as I know, you can force Internet Explorer (Windows Explorer) to launch in a custom size window is to close all IE (Windows Explorer) windows except the current one; then, resize and re-position the last window opened where you want it, and
    exit Internet Explorer.
    Now re-open Internet Explorer (Windows Explorer), and it should have automatically saved the last window size and position; keep in mind that if you have multiple IE (Windows Explorer)windows opened, the last one's size and position will be remembered.
    With Normal it will open up the same size as it was when it was last closed down.
    If the IE still opens in small window, here's the registry keys that would need to be edited, according to what I found:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
     -->delete the "Window_Placement" subkey
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Document Window\Maximized
     -->change the value of this key to "Yes"
    please backup Registry first.

  • Reader X integration with Windows Explorer and protected mode

    Hello all.
    I'm having some problems with Adobe Reader X under Windows 7 and it seems that I need to disable protected mode. I disabled it by unchecking the related option in edit-preferences, also I created the registry key for the local user (bProtectedMode = 0).
    After doing that, the protected mode seems to be disables when I open pdf documents with Reader X, but it's still enabled when previewing documents thumbnails in windows explorer. The issue is that when I open a folder containing pdf files and left click or right click them, two AcroRd32.exe processes spawn and it seems to me that it's a protected mode behaviour (broker process + sandboxed renderer process).
    I'd like to know if it's possible to fully disable protected mode so that it remains disabled even when I'm navigating directories with Windows Explorer and documents are previewed. My current Adobe Reader version is 10.1.3.
    Thank you very much.

    Hi Fernando,
    Here's a statement that hopefully helps or at least solves your mystery:
    While Protected Mode can be disabled for PDFs viewed with the product, Adobe continues to protect you when 3rd party software invokes a Reader process; that is, Protected Mode sandboxing cannot be disabled for shell extensions. For example, when you use Windows Explorer to preview a PDF in the Preview Pane, it starts a Reader process to display the preview. In such cases, Task Manager shows that two AcroRd32.exe processes spawn and that the operation is occurring with Protected Mode enabled.
