[SOLVED] Start Outlook from Firefox on Windows?

[Programmerer]

Hello, my parents use Windows, and I have tried to get them to use Firefox.
But I wonder if it is possible to make a "Read E-Mail" shortcut like it is in IE,
and they also use Outlook:oops: so is it possible to make a button or something that can open Outlook?

Thanks for replies

Hello, I discovered that I can drag a shortcut to the bookmarks panel, but when I click on it will Firefox open it like a link, or a file, here is the link that I use: file:///"C:\Programfiler\Microsoft Office\Office10\OUTLOOK.EXE"

Hello, now won't it even come with a error message.
Are there anybody here who knows anything?:confused:
I tried to write open:\\\"filename", and then firefox came up with a message that open isn't connected to a file on my parents computers, so are there anybody who knows how to make Firefox to open it instead of trying to download it.

Firefox opens only html, php, png, jpg, gif, swf, etc.
Not .exe files.

A .exe file is a executeable file, that needs to be executed.
It is not a file to open.

I think it is easier to open outlook from the menu panel in Windows.
Maybe it is the only way.

Of course i mean to run it, not that Firefox are going to open it inside the browser!
Well, I guess that I'm going to delete all IE shortcuts, and make firefox to open *.html files, so they can't use IE:twisted::-$
