Before, whenever I clicked on a torrent file, I could select "run" instead of "download", and just load the torrents straight into the client. But now, it says "find", "save" or cancel. Does anyone know how I can change this and make explorer recognise torrent files?

Make sure the client is associated with the .torrent filea. In uTorrent for example, go to Preferences>General and click on the associate button.

Try saving a Torrent file then click on "Open With" and go to "Choose Program". Then select "uTorrent/Azureus/whatever" and also tick "Always use....".
Alternatively, go to "Windows Explorer" and go to the "Tools" menu and choose "Folder Options". Then go to "File Types" and scroll down to "TORRENT" and click on change then do the same thing as above after Choose Program.
But another easy way of solving your problem would be taking fstrulz's advice and switching to Firefox. You'll succumb to it anyway later on, so why not make the switch now. :D

Hye guys, I tried your advise but I still says "Find". This started because I installed the software Pando, and it asked me if I wanted to have it as my default torrent client. I said no, and since then I cant just open the torrents. Isn't there any way to select what the open the file with in Internet Explorer?

Tim Berners Lee @ CERN (Geneva) invented the World wide web (Browsers, Html language, HTTP protocol etc)
The internet as an infrastructure started at USA (Arpanet ect)

:geek:

And yes, IE sucks! Use Firefox or Opera :cool:
