Christopher and anyone else interested, it seems that the ability for Firefox to open pages in IE is through the IE Tab extention. It is pretty straightforward in that one opens the IE Tab properties via FireFox's Tools menu, into which the plug-in is installed when you download and install it. On opening the extention the page you are on is highlighted in the field next to URL and an 'add' option should be highlighted. Just entering or clicking on that should add the current page to the exceptions list. There is also an 'apply' button, so don't forget to use that. I am 99 per cent certain that the Windows Update pages are a default action of Firefox, and indeed, its hard to see why they wouldn't be, given the high importance of Windows Update functionality not being disturbed. prepared to becorrected on this one, but sure I'm right. I may well have come across the IE Tab extention via a GW Micro Knowledge base article, but I cannot quite remember now. In any case, that's probably a good way to track it down.

I don't recall that you can tell FF to load IE on particular website? I've heard of an extension, load IE, is that the one? Thanks.
