OFFTOPIC: S.O.T. Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2 and IE 6 dumps Mozilla plug-ins

Hi Hedley!

Some additions to this Offtopic...

That's really true... The only thing Microsoft ist willing to support 
in the future ist their own Plugin-Interface ActiveX (replaces the 
formerly Netscape-plugins) and the .NET-Thing (intended to replace 
Sun's Java-Stuff).

That's simple:
Open Netscape. Go to the "Edit"-Menu. Choose "Preferences".
On the right Tab choose "Advanced" and then "Windows Integration".
Choose the File-Types Netscape should open and click the checkbox
"Check that Windows is set up to match these preferences...".
Done!

Don't forget to disable the Preference of IE to "Check if IE is 
default browser" for not to unset the settings of Netscape.

Happy Browsing :)

BTW: Instead of Netscape you can also use the Mozilla-Browser. You 
find it at http://www.mozilla.org/releases/.
The Netscape Browser is the same as Mozilla, the engine is in Netscape 
a bit older and there are a lot of additions in Netscape you don't need. 
I would recommend the Mozilla Browser.
