Right now my default browser is set as Netscape, but I want to change that to MIE. How would I go about doing this? I have removed Navigator, and when I double click on links in my email, it defaults to Navigator, and because it can't find the exe file, it asks me what to open the link with.

two ways to go about this:<br>1)(eaier, but not so sure of the results)when the '<i>open with...</i>' dialogue pops up, scroll down and select 'iexplore'. before clicking ok, check the '<i>Always use this program to open this type of file</i>' checkbox<br><br>2)(harder, and more reliable) open IE, and navigate to the Internet Options menu. Click on the programs tab. under the '<i>reset web settings</i>' button, check the box that labeled '<i>Internet Explorer should check to see if it is the default browser</i>.' next time you start IE, it will ask you about it.<br><br>hope this helps <p>theEclipse<br><a href=mailto:eclipse_web@hotmail.com>eclipse_web@hotmail.com</a><br><a href=robacarp.webjump.com>robacarp.webjump.com</a><br>**-Trying to build a documentation of a Javascript DOM, crossbrowser, of course.
