Setting Default Browser
Umm perhaps I missed something? All I did to change my
Setting Default Browser
You did indeed miss something. My default internet settings are regularly reset to Internet Explorer. I think it happens whenever you alter IEs preferences. It alters the internet config settings the same way it did in OS9. Being altered, they get reset to the default. At work, where I am regularly switching between browsers and am forced to use IE to click on links in Outlook 2001 (where it will launch classic IE if I don't have IEX open) even though Omniweb is my usual default, it happens all the time. I even have my Download folder reset to my Desktop fairly regularly, especially when I upgrade Mozilla.

s*ck! That's damn annoying. Mercifully I'm not forced
lock your internet prefs file
To prevent Internet Explorer from being set as your default every time you restart (or so it seems), set the System Prefs/Internet/Web browser to the one you want, and then go to your home directory, then to your Library folder, and then to the Preferences folder, and get info on the file "com.apple.internetconfig.plist", and check the "Locked" box. Now it will stay the way you set it.
lock your internet prefs file
But when legimate changes to the settings, like maybe establishing a new default home page, be prevented using this method? |
