I have just installed the Commandline Plugin and tried out the
search facility by typing g truelaunch and pressing enter.

Internet Explorer opens to a google page with truelaunch as the search criteria. Big Grin

Unfortunately I use firefox as my default browser. :?

Anyone have an idea as to why this is happening? That is, IE is opening instead of Firefox? :oops:

You need to set firefox as default browser. In the firefox Open Tools->Options->General tab and check the option under "Default browser".

If you are using Windows XP SP2 then open Add/emove programs, click "Set Program Access and defaults", click the "Custom" in the list and set the default browser.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I have done both of those suggestions.
The problem remains.

Fixed it!!

In case its needed in the future here's what I did.

In an explorer window, click Tools->FolderOptions->FileTypes

In the list that appears select the line that has
Extensions NONE Filetype URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol
and click Advanced.

Then click Edit.

Make sure that the "Application to be used to perform action" field
points to Firefox.exe. Mine says C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1\FIREFOX.EXE -url "%1".
Uncheck DDE
Click OK and then OK.

Also do this for URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy

After doing these things I am now able to use the Command Line plugin to launch a search in Firefox.

I hope this is clear enough for others who need this information.
