Thomas,
Your approach did not work, but here is what a friend sent and this
worked:
<<OK, here's the trick:
Do a Find for the file "prefs.js". If you find more than one, you need only
concern yourself with the most recent time stamp (probably the last time
you used the browser).
Open the file with NOTEPAD.
Find the line:
user_pref("browser.wfe.ignore_def_check", true);
Change the word "true" to "false".
Start Netscape. It should ask if you want to make it the default browser.
Say "Yes" and leave the "don't ask me again" box UNchecked.>>
