Thanks Chris, that's a start. At least it lets me divert http and https to Safari from IE. However, it doesn't let me remove a bunch of the junk in there (for example, piles of file encodings like stuffit: and x-cpt: and binhex: and so on, which aren't URI schemes at all!). Furthermore, it had IE specified as the ftp handler. I've changed it to Transmit. Nonetheless, Safari insists on opening all ftp:// URLs using the Finder -- which drives me completely mad because it's slow, buggy, and there is no visual clue about what's going on. How can I fix that? Is that a safari problem? -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
