10.3: Internet.prefPane
Authored by: baltwo on Nov 11, '03 05:13:54PM

On my Panther installation, there's an Internet.prefPane in /System/Library/PrefPanes, but it's an alias to the Mac.prefPane. Apparently, the system looks for the Internet.prefPane and launches the Mac.prefPane when it finds the alias. I installed Jaguar's Internet.prefPane 1.21 into ~/Library/PreferencePanes and the system ignores the alias and uses the Jag one. This, along with More Internet, provides all the control you need to set the default mail/browser applications and protocol helpers. Note, if you have multiple user accounts and want all of them to have this capability, you should add these to each user's ~/Library/PreferencePanes directory.

10.3: Internet.prefPane

if you want this to work flawlessly, use Diablotin and disable the mac.prefpane. The jag internet.prefpane gives you all the idisk and .mac options as well as puts the settings for default browser and mail where it should be. Apple should have given the idea of using safari and mail for setting these options more thought. Personally i use Gyazmail and Camino as my defaults.
