RE: How do I reset the default browser?

["Hays, Dennis " <KK7777@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To create a new "default" for any file type on a windows machine, use the
following instructions: (and I'll go on topic by using the default
FrameMaker file extension "fm")

1. Click once on a data file (such as filename.fm or filename.htm)
2. Hold down the SHIFT key and RIGHTCLICK on the same data file
3. Select "Open with..." from the resulting context menu
4. To make this change permanent, ensure that the "Always use this program
to open this type of file" checkbox is enabled (checked)
5. Select the application you want to associate with this file type from the
list, such as FrameMaker (or Netscape/IE)
6. Click the OK button.

>From now on, whenever you double click on an *.fm file (*.htm, *.html),
FrameMaker (Netscape/IE) opens and loads the requested file.

Please excuse this WAY OFF TOPIC query: how do I set which Web browser is
the default that is booted when I double-click on an URL link in a PDF file,
mail message, Word document, Frame document?

I made the mistake of downloading StarOffice, the cross-platform answer to
MS Office, and its browser has taken over!  (Must have missed a check box in
the InstallShield wizard.)  The local guru supreme des gurus hasn't a clue
... hope one of you closet hackers out there does have a clue!
