How to set default FTP handler in Windows 7?

In Windows 7, I have installed the Firefox browser, which apparently registers itself as the default FTP handler, but doesn't handle FTP very well. How can I make FTP links open in Internet Explorer, but keep Firefox as my default browser?


Solution 1:

Click the Start Orb then click Default Programs and select Associate a file type or protocol with a program.

Then double click on Internet Explorer and you are done!
