Hi all --
At work we use Lotus Notes for e-mail. I also have Seamonkey 2.0. Today,
I uninstalled the old browser, Seamonkey 1.18. Now, when I click on a link
in an email in Lotus Notes, nothing happens (used to open a SM 1.18
window.) I opened Seamonkey 2.0, and went to
edit-->preferences-->browser and clicked on Set Default Browser, but
nothing happens. Here, at home, that button is grayed out, and it says
Seamonkey is already your default browser. But that doesn't happen at
work. Out of curiosity, would I have to log in under my administrator
account to do that?
What do I do? (Have XP, SP3 at work).
Possibility -- Check to see if your Lotus Notes has a hardwired path set
for Seamonkey -- so long as 1.1.18 was there it would follow that path and
bump the program. SM 2.0 uses a different directory than SM 1.x.
(I had that happen with a program called "Mailwasher".)

I give up. Today, I found out IE7 exhibits the same behavior. Bet the
browsers can't change a registry key, or the key is non-existent. Sent
a message to our "bright" IT folks to figure it out. (Actually, our IT
people are pretty good -- they're so darned busy, that we only contact
them if we can't figure it out.) BTW, Lotus Notes doesn't have a
hardwired path for SeaMonkey. It used to. The current version gives
you a choice of using the "default browser", or the browser contained in
Lotus Notes. I switched to the Lotus Notes browser, until we figure
this out.
Don't give up. :-)
From what you have said, this is what I would do at this point:
Go in and see of the old directory structure is still intact: SB:
C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\SeaMonkey -- <drive possibility here>
If so, use it, if not, make it, and then,
Put any old standalone .exe into *that* Seamonkey directory and rename it
as "Seamonkey.exe", then,
****************
See if it gets called from seamonkey.......................
***************----------------------^^^^^
Error, error, mea culpa -- I meant "see if it gets called from Lotus
Notes".
Clarification: by "standalone.exe" i mean one that does not require
other files to execute.
That would do one thing if it is called -- show you that it is the path
involved. If so, you can do one of two things ----- reinstall sm 2.x to
*that* directory, OR pass that golden info to the IT dept. and change the
SM icon(s) target(s) until they get it "fixed". [I have two icons, one
for browser and one for mail]
(Actually, there are three possibilities if it is the path)
But the third "fix" possibility requires uninstallation/reinstallation of
some older software.....
I have not used Lotus Notes, but if it is like the old Lotus 123 R5, the
.ini files would be a likely place to look for paths..........
Understand, it may not be showing you a path, but it may have one in an
.ini or compiled into a DLL.
