I thought it would be good if there is a way for users to choose what browser they wish to use when clicking on a link in their emails.
Does anyone know of such a utility?
I agree. Or in the RSS feed program. When I click on links there, it opens up Internet Explorer and not Opera, which is what I would prefer.
RSShub was opening Opera until I had to do a HardReset, and now it is Internet Explorer that I really detest. And I don't know how to change this configuration.
I must say that Microsoft did a great bad work on this mobile IE. It is unusable.
I think the following reg. hack will change the default browser : -
Under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\Shell\Open\Command and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\https\Shell\Open\Command replace with
"\Windows\OperaL.exe" %1

Many thanks for this tip. Unfortunately it does not seem to work for me. Pocket IE is still the browser when web links on mails are clicked. Should it be Opera9.exe rather than OperaL.exe? Edit: nope, Opera9.exe does not work either.
Any more idea?
Hi,
I am using NFSFAN's V15 ROM and I also use a gmail java app that accesses my gmail account. Let me first start out by saying that the reason I use the java gmail app is because I cannot find a .cab file installation version of it and I need to preserve email message threading. I know most people use the default mail client but I sometimes get 20 or more responses to one email message and it creates a huge inbox mess, hence this is only one of the main reasons why I use the gmail java app and not the default mail client. Now that thats out of the way, here is my problem:
When I am in the java gmail app and reviewing a message with a website hyperlink in it, if I click on the hyperlink, I immediately get a Yes/No pop up dialog box asking me if its okay to open that website. If you select yes or no the dialog box reappears immediately and the same loop starts ever until I am forced to take the battery out and restart the phone. Can anyone fix this? I wonder if IE Mobile 6 is what is causing the problem, it works fine on my stock ROM that has the older version of IE Mobile but it will not work on the WM6.5 ROM that uses IE Mobile 6. I really want to point it to use Opera Mobile instead of IE Mobile 6 but it does not give me that option. Yes, I have Opera Mobile set as my default browser and yes the "Set Opera as default browser" option within Opera Mobile is checked on but this java program just will not open Opera and I am very puzzled by this problem. I cannot find anyone talking about this issue on any other threads for the Vogue, here at XDA, so I decided to create this thread. Does anyone know how to fix this?
PS - Here is a download link to the java gmail app if anyone wants to take a crack at this:

Thanks

Reading this a bit late for research but here's the good news.
Microsoft has announced that the new mobile office and outlook exchange shall incorporate threaded email.
I had a link to it to download the new outlook mobile, I'll search for it again and post if I find it.
I have installed Opera 10 as many. I did unistall it later and since when I click on an link from a mail, instead of the stock Opera, my HD opens up Explorer. Obviously a registry key has changed - but which one? I am running stock ROM (1.56). Anybody knows how to make the pre installed Opera the default for browsing?
Thank you
Have you tried opening Opera and just setting it as your default browser again?
Open Opera, go to Menu, Tools, Settings, Misc. Then check Set Opera as Default Browser... or something similar to that. That may fix it. Let us know.
Check this registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\DefaultBrowserIsIE
Set to 0

I cannot find the specific key!!! Would that be the problem? unistalling Opera, could it be that it deleted the key?
I searched through the whole registry and I can find it nowhere!
What do you suggest? can I add it?

Calm down. The guys above have now clue what they are talking about.
Opera 10 has no menu style like the previous versions.
You have to manipulate/enter the registry keys, but be carefull.
Up to now, there is no simple way to make Opera 10 the default.
But if you want to try (it is working):

No Basthet, they just took the time to read the request clearly.
The request is for help resetting the original opera 9.x to be the default browser.
Either solutions offered will achieve this.

Thanks m8 , I chose not to respond to a totally uncalled for response from someone who does not even know how to read.
Set opera to open at manila tab
I know, that if you want to set the built-in opera to open when you click on the icon on the manila internet tab, then go to the registry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\: DEFBROWSER
and set there key
0 to "Opera Browser"
1 to "Windows\OperaL.exe"
And I think it should solve also your problem. I hope it helps...

Thanks for the critique. Next time, please read carefully before deciding to post about someone's lack of intelligence... then just don't post.
Thank you all - even those who cannot read! - my problem is that although when I click the icon in the manila internet tab, it correctly opens Opera, BUT when I click from within an outlook email containing a link, it opens IE - and this is what I want to change!

I was just thinking (I don't have Opera 9.5 or 9.7 installed at the moment, so I'm guessing). To set Opera as your default browser open it up and go to Settings, click on Advanced then scroll to the bottom and choose "Set Opera as default browser". Just to be safe, soft reset then try it. Trial and error... please report back.
This seems to give you what you are looking for. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3729890&postcount=3

Thanks! It's actually either fast neither easy.
I mean NOBODY would find it itself.
I've had a great hope can get all the bookmarks from IE to my device
but it's apparently not going to happen.
Luckily we have a great OperaLink..
Thank you anyway!

The purpose for these types of apps isn't really to send yourself a bookmark for a main website, but more to send a complicated link to save you typing in a 180 character or so URL into your HD7, or having to open up your email and copy / paste a link to yourself (spamming your own email in the process).
For example; I'm on my PC browsing deviant art and I see a cool image that would make a great lockscreen wallpaper for my HD7. I right click somewhere on the page, select "Send to Windows Phone". I pick up my phone, open the "Send to WP7" app, and there's my link to that page. I can now use that image as my wallpaper.
Similarly, if you're reading an article on some website and you've got to get to work but want to finish reading that article on the bus, just send it to yourself with this app and easily pick up the same page on the bus!
It's an incredibly handy and ingenious app in my opinion... with lots of ingenious uses if you can think them up.
I sent a question to the dev that I haven't seen an update for - how to remove those darned links when you're done with them. Until then, the app is useless for me, but it does have potential...

There is now an alternative paid-for app called Browser to WP7 that works on the same idea except it allows links and text to be deleted. It also categorises them in the app and allows you to share them by sms, email, search with bing etc.
I'm waiting to see if Send to WP7 gets any future updates because it's currently free and works pretty well for me.

Hey guys - never noticed this thread until today. I am the author of Send to WP7.
Send to WP7 has the ability to delete links (as of the update several days ago - I was stuck in limbo for several weeks. )
Multi-delete is coming in an application update next week.
Send to WP7 has a live tile # indicating how many links you need to download to the phone. You can already send a link via SMS or Email, just tap and hold, select 'Show All', and then click the mail icon. I'll add more options to the 'right-click' menu soon. I didn't think there was much of a reason for things like 'Search with Google' or 'Search With Bing' (wouldn't you have just done these things on your PC anyway?), but I may add things like that in the future.
Send to WP7 will remain free.
Apologies to the OP for not understanding how to setup the software, I still assert that it is not very complicated if you just read the instructions carefully. I do think I need some updates/screenshots to the setup page, though. On that note, I was never able to figure out how to configure 'Browser to WP7' to use anything but Chrome...
I thought it was simple to use and easy to setup but then again I've been using Chrome to Phone for ages with my Desire now.

Hi cxkx -
Note that Send to WP7 Desktop is an alpha release, I have not built any functionality into the phone app to support it yet. In it's current state, it is best for transferring files. Sending an SMS or Email does "work", but you'll then have to tap & hold the item and select Send via mail. The real name for these items should be something like "prepare SMS/mail."
Again just note that this is all in flux, but I wanted to get it out there so those who really wanted the functionality could have it immediately.

I don't quite understand, how do i send an sms? Press the button on the desktop app, nothing happens, am I supposed to write a txt file, send to phone and then send as sms? will the txt file be read and added or will it be an attachment?

Yes, you enter a message (and optionally a destination contact number, but this won't work until I add support into the phone app itself) and click send. The message is sent to your phone using exactly the same means as the note. If you have enabled push notifications, you'll get a toast. Tap and hold the entry on the phone, and select 'Send info via SMS'. It is not the most elegant procedure, I know...
I ve tried sending the clipboard contents but it didnt work, anything I copy in iexplorer though can be send, maybe a plain html page where you can write and then send using the accelerator will do the trick. Keep on the good work!

"It didn't work" is not useful for anyone trying to solve any kind of problem. If you'd like help in configuring the desktop software (I suspect that is the only problem you're having), email me the log (located at %localappdata%\sendtowp7desktop\log.txt) to dave at dave amenta dot com.

I'm not sure why it says the program is executing from C:\Windows\system32, maybe that is related. Usually ClickOnce will set that to your profile (e.g. C:\Users\CK)
It appears that you're getting jumplist callbacks for sending notes, but nothing else - they all use exactly the same mechanism so I'm not sure what'd cause that. It appears you are using a localized version of Windows, what language/locale are you using?

I have some tab groups that I had to recreate as none came over with the 4XL transfer. Now when I click the + to add a group or if I am in a group and click the + to add a tab it just jumps to the main Chrome page with no tabs and a link in the upper right to go to the tab groups. Is there a setting I'm missing?
Damn! Why doesn't Chrome for Android have a search field in the Settings like Chrome for the PC does? I know it's a more limited version of Chrome, technically, and therefore fewer settings, but still! I'm not finding anything, although I haven't checked Chrome flags.
I just tested and I was able to add a new tab to an existing group I have.
I was able to create a new group and add new random tabs to the group as well.
I know I could before as I had recreate the ones I have now but it will no longer let me. I did reboot the phone but maybe I need to reboot or reset the Chrome app?
New tabs work, but I'm on Chrome Beta...
I did manually check for app updates earlier - no idea if Chrome updated at that time or not but I don't think so. I'm on regular Chrome. Settings / About says 95.0.4638.74.

I have the same version.
Nevermind, it goes to the generic Chrome page and then when you click a link or enter a site it takes you back to the group with a new tab. Was it always this way? I don't add tabs often.

Ah. Not sure, I only rarely use tab groups, and it's impossible for me to stay on top of the latest Google changes. I think they enjoy Gaslighting us. Glad it works for you!
They are always messing with me. Like at one point in the text app it removed the add a pic icon after start typing or something and I spent like an hour trying to find out why I could not add a pic.
