How To Set Which Browser Opens Links Embedded In Documents

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I currently have Firefox (FF) set as my default browser. All web links I click on in FF open in FF. All files on my hard drive of filetype htm and html also open in FF. All links in any e-mail client also open in FF. However, links embedded in documents such as MS Word, Adobe Acrobat files, etc. open in Internet Explorer. I already have custom settings in "Set Program Access & Defaults" to use my current browser.

How do I get hyperlinks embedded in documents to also open in FF.

Running WindowsXP HE SP2 with all current updates as of today.
