Replace it with the pathname of the desired browser - best to navigate to it with the 'browse' button on that panel, rather than risk spelling errors. OK everything, and you should be set.	Guest (0)

IE is my default browser anyway, and a change to either one seems to work as expected. There is no risk of confusing them, since the Opera has the Opera logo by it. But why is Opera calling itself Netscape?	Guest (0)
