Ever since I got fusion 2.0 rc1, all weblinks in the mail app are set to open with internet explorer. This means that if I click a link and my windows VM is not running, it launches VMware, starts up windows, and then opens ie with the webpage of the link. This is crazy. How do I reset safari as the default?

Edit: Fixed. Changed preferences in safari to make safari default browser again. For some reason VMware fusion set it to internet explorer.

Way... way too many specs to list.
Explorer will check on launch and ask if you want it to be the default. Never thought about that being much of a problem, but I don't run them in unity mode

thats what was weird, neither do I. In fact I wasn't running VMWare fusion at all. clicking a link launched the app which then started up windows which then launched IE.
