Forums mIRC Help How do I set my Opera browser to be used in mIRC ?

When you click on a hotlink in mIRC, the browser which is set as windows default will open the link. If you want to specify a different browser, try putting these lines into your remote section (alt + r)

on ^*:hotlink:*//*.*:*: { }
on *:hotlink:*//*.*:*: { run C:\Program Files\Opera\Opera.exe $1 }
on ^*:hotlink:*www.*:*: { }
on *:hotlink:*www.*:*: { run C:\Program Files\Opera\Opera.exe $1 }

That's not true!! I have PC's with Mozilla and Phoenix installed as default browser and mIRC ALWAYS LAUNCHES IE. What am I doing wrong?

please read my answer to you in the other place you posted this

I have this problem, when the link is in the beginning of a topic, the " ' " is also sent to the browser, therefor I made this little change:

on ^*:hotlink:*//*.*:*: { }
on *:hotlink:*//*.*:*: { run C:\Program Files\Opera\Opera.exe $remove( $1,') }
on ^*:hotlink:*www.*:*: { }
on *:hotlink:*www.*:*: { run C:\Program Files\Opera\Opera.exe $remove( $1,') }

Maybe other people are helped with this.

to fire up flashfxp (or cute or whatever) use this:

on ^*:HOTLINK:ftp*//*.*:*:return
on *:HOTLINK:ftp*//*.*:*:run "C:\Program Files\FlashFXP\FlashFXP.exe" $1-
