Hi Koyuk, could you explain this in a little more detail? For example:

  • Wrong program to open a particular kind of download?
  • Wrong program to open a link with a custom protocol (like zoom://)?
  • Something else?

In both of those cases, you may be able to adjust the setting on the Options page, in the "Applications" section. The following article about email link settings will get you to that part of the page, and then you can look for the type of file or protocol that is the real issue:

Change the program used to open email links

Can you track it down and change it there?
