NETSCAPE
* Logging #campus to 'ns'

<PJ-2> how do I set netscape as my default browser
<candyman1> I have only one browser, does anyone know the answer?
<PJ-2> I have some programs that use automatic use IE ...  
<candyman1> like MS
<PJ-2> at one time they would ask if I wanted to change it to my default but I always said no   but now it no longer ask
<candyman1> programs
<oz1> Do you get an option when you switch browsers asking if you want that one to be your default browser?
<candyman1> that is because you say no
<Blossom^> PJ-2  do you mean to view HTML files.....or gif or jpg files?
<candyman1> and stopped the pop up menue
<oz1> I think there is an answer in the UFAQ page.
<PJ-2> I have a canon printer and with it came some programs that use IE
<PJ-2> when you open the program IE is the browser
<PJ-2> now when I get the URL from friends on Icq  ... they open in Ie
<PJ-2> when they did open in netscape
<Blossom^> I have one solution.........
<PJ-2> so think default has changed but I don't know where to go to get it changed back to netscape
<oz1> Copy the URL and then open Netscape and enter the URL.
<Zonie> Blossom is the instructor for ICQ, bet she knows :)
<PJ-2> Blossom can you help
<Blossom^> I'll try........you can set all of your html files to open in Netscape by doing this
<Blossom^> choose any HTML file
<Blossom^> hightlight it
<Zonie> here is a jucy little tid bit I just found at ZDnet, if your interested in how NS is fairing in the browser wars http://www.zdnet.com/anchordesk/story/story_2133.html
<oz1> If communicator is not your default browser, and when you start it up it 
<oz1> does not ask to become the default browser, then: 
<oz1> With communicator closed, locate the prefs.js in your 
<oz1> ..\netscape\users\(username)\ folder. 
<Blossom^> hold down Ctrl + and right click
<Blossom^> choose  Open with
<PeachesBG> http://help.netscape.com/kb/client/971009-21.html  "How to make Communicator your default browser."
<Blossom^> choose Netscape
<Blossom^> check the box beside.."always open this type of file with this program"......
<Blossom^> and click ok
<Blossom^> and all of your HTML files will then open in Netscape.........
<oz1> Ignore what oz wrote before. It is too complicated.
<Blossom^> until you change it...........
<Blossom^> did you get that?
<PJ-2> ok  thanks  ... I will try that and also check out that url Peaches
<PJ-2> yes blossom ... I will print that part of the log after this meeting  ... thank you
<FlorenceF> What time will the log be posted?
<PJ-2> do they post the log somewhere?
<PJ-2> I just always log myself
<candyman1> everyone should log
<candyman1> the sessions
<candyman1> and then edit the log
<candyman1> for personal use
<oz1> Logs are posted at http://members.tripod.com/~MCW_2/EagelsNest/en
<jbr> It is great to have logs posted for times we can not attend
<oz1> Eagel post logs and many other things on this page for other classes too.
<jbr> this may be wrong class to ask - but does anyone know of a site that explains differenes in how different browsers view html docs?
<jbr> does that ? make sense?
