Yes, make it the default. An Internet shortcut attempts to display the page in your default browser. If that browser is not currently running, it will be launched. If you want SeaMonkey to be your default but also want to open the shortcuts in some other browser, you can't use Internet shortcuts. I don't know what you can use. I just ran a test. I used IE to create an Internet shortcut. With all browsers terminated, I double-clicked on the shortcut. It launched SeaMonkey to open the page, which is my default. I then shut down SeaMonkey and launched IE. I double-clicked on the shortcut. It again launched SeaMonkey to open the page, ignoring the fact that IE was still running. Thus, I don't think you had to delete your IE-generated Internet shortcuts and regenerate them. -- David E.
