I recently installed windows 10 on my computer. When I open a link that appears in an E-mail it opens in Internet Explorer. I don't like Internet Explorer and would like to have Google Chrome to open these links. What do I need to do to have this happen.

Thunderbird uses your computer default settings. You need to set your computer default browser to Google Chrome instead of Internet Explorer.
