Yes, it seems a bit odd to me too, to having lost the Internet Preference Panel.
But there are easy solutions, even if Apple does not bring it back. For example: "More Internet" (do a search on VersionTracker) - tada, all former options of the Internet Helper are back, you can assign all helpers (also ftp etc.) within one little location via the System Preferences. I know there exist still other such helpers, but I forgot the name(s). ---marlyse --------------- former message(s) quotes: ---------------- > >Frankly I think we should lobby Apple (in the nicest possible way :-)) to >alter this M$ like behaviour in the next release and bring the default >mail and browser settings back under system prefs.
