I don't have much time to research this, so I'll just ask:<br><br>If I had netscape set up as default and I had checked the &quot;don't ask me again&quot; box when I said IE wasn't the default, how do I change my settings?<br><br>thanks... <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=] :: imotic :: website :: [</a><br>"light the deep, and bring silence to the world.<br>

in ie5 go to tools-&gt;internet option-&gt;programs-&gt;at the bottom of the menu there is a tab saying if ie should check to see if it is default browser, uncheck that and restart.&nbsp;&nbsp;The check it again and restart the broweser and it should ask you to be deafault if it isn't anyway.&nbsp;&nbsp;the other way you can do it is to associate the specific file type. html&nbsp;&nbsp;go start-&gt;settings-&gt;folder options-&gt;file types-&gt; and look for any files associated with ie and change it to netscapes executable. <p>moses<br><a href=mailto:tmoses@iname.com>tmoses@iname.com</a><br><a href= my site</a><br>"In the beginning there was HTML, and it was good"<br>
