Silly... you can set up a batch file easy to open IE with the Morpheus_Hotlist.html file after the program finishes, and when you get to the files you have to use right click, Save Target As... not just click, as that tells IE to open the file instead of downloading.

I think that's really unfair, people bitching just because they don't know enough about Windows, DOS and IE to make his neat little program work properly - to be honest, it's more an idea than a program, as it's not that much harder to just do it with a DOS prompt (use Netstat) and then put 'IP addy:1214' (1214 is the Morpheus port) into an IE window... same result. However, no-one else ever thought of doing this so he deserves a lot of credit.
edit: A quick-and-dirty batch file to make this program easier to use... just save this text into "morpheus_hotlist.bat" and then make a shortcut to it in the start menu or a quick launch toolbar... works for me.
@echo off
"c:\morpheus_hotlist.exe"
"c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe" "c:\morpheus_hotlist.html"
(just change any paths in there that aren't right for your system).
