Bug #2929	Links in Help menu open Internet Explorer

Description:
Clicking on the 'Report Bug to MySQL' or 'Launch MySQL website' items in the help menu opens Internet Explorer.

I have Internet Explorer removed from the start menu via the Windows 2000 SP4 tool for doing so, and have Mozilla set as my default browser.

This is a site-wide security decision, and applications which insist on opening Internet Explorer against our preferences are creating unneccessary security issues for us, by giving people an easy way of bypassing our default settings.

How to repeat:
Click the 'help' menu, and select 'Report Bug to MySQL' or 'Launch MySQL website'.

Suggested fix:
Use the selected default browser.

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. Because of this, we hope you add your comments
to the original bug instead.

Thank you for your interest in MySQL.
