    I am running Windows XP SP3 and am using Internet Explorer 8. Recently I have installed Moxilla Firefox as another browser. I want to keep IE as my default browser. How can I open any of my desktop short cuts in Firefox..........maybe add an 'Open With Firefox' entry to the right click menu.
    Thanks for any help.

    Click Start > Run and type shell:sendto

    This will open the Send To directory, you can drop shortcuts into it. When you right click the shortcut you want to open with Firefox, go to Send To and find Firefox and select it.
