hope the answer to this is not to technical or convoluted;
when I set in the prefrences to make portable thunderbird the default email client, it makes a reference in the startup menu (XP) but when clicked it wants to setup from scratch. How do I make it the default client on the desktop (pointing to the portable setup (if you follow ).
My hope was to be able to have the portable setup as the default mail browser on the desktop and just copy the folder to a USB pen when I want it to be portable, is that possible or will I have to run syncs with a default & portable install (I geuss thats what some posts refer to)
Sorry for being longwinded and not to bright,
ps. This would apply for firefox

thanks and appologies for not searching properly. The reg hack thread was left hanging, thanks for the summation.
Hmm.
Well, do the registry trick so that when you click a mailto link, it opens it on there.
Then make a shortcut to the PortableThunderbird.exe on the desktop.
Repeat for Firefox.
Does that answer your question?
