Hi,
I have Firefox as a default browser.
Since I am working a lot for students, I use Power Point as a base and
then a lot of links on excersises, made with Hot Potatoes. If I use
the Power Point presentation on my computer (not over the internet),
all links for HotPotatoes excersises open in IE whic is always
"helping me to protect my security...". If I disable this as it is in
Help, IE stop to prtect me, but the excersises cannot be used.
Is there a way to arrange in Power Pont to use some other browser and
not IE?

Thank you!

Regards, Natasa

I don't quite understand how PowerPoint fits into this. I'm guessing
it's something like this:

You have a PPT presentation that includes links to HTML files that you
created with the various Hot Potatoes tools.

Is that correct?

You might try using a Run Program action setting instead of a hyperlink
directly to the HTML file.

For example, set the Run Program: text box to:

c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe "your file.html"

If your file's on a mapped network drive, you may not be able to use the
mapped drive letter; at least it won't work here. But I was able to
use:

c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
"\\servername\sharename\directory\file.htm"
