Fusion is starting to drive me nuts.
In Settings / Applications / Default Applications
I have both Open Mac files ... and Open your Windows files ... UNCHECKED.
In the Configure button I've even gone in and removed all default apps so it is blank.
Yet, no matter what, every time I read a message in Mail on the Mac and click a hyperlink, Fusion insists I want to do it in Internet Explorer in the Virtual machine.
How to I permanently disable this "feature"?

Hyperlinks are not files, you want Preferences > Default Applications > Open Mail (mailto) with: -- be sure to uncheck this, not just delete the line.
Edit: Oh, right, Configure goes there. In that case, try clearing out the helper applications:

Did you first click the Restore Defaults button before removing the Default Application listed? If not go back and click the Restore Defaults button and make sure its pointing to Mac applications not Windows.
Also in addition to what's already been said in the thread so far, RCDefaultApp is a nice freeware System Preferences pane application that easily allows setting the default application used for various URL schemes, file extensions, file types, MIME types, etc. and is very handy to have. You might want to check it out.
I am facing the same challenges. Unfortunately all of the options above have not corrected the issue. As a matter of fact, I don't even have GoToMeeting configured or installed on the Virtual Machine.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks.
