Hi Re-Na and Jackie > Re-Na, i helped the other Jackie, MacWhirter, with this exact same > problem about two months ago: I just realised you're the Jackie i helped, Jackie MacWhirter. You never answered and said whether my help worked. Re-Na, in addition to the solution i just sent, the solution at http://support.bicestercomputers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=323&highlight=operation+canceled+restrictions+effect is possible and even easier, but i usually tell people to avoid using Windows's "set defaults" options because this often doesn't work, whereas switching back and forth between making two different browsers the default always works. However, it's slightly more work accessing the "set as default" in different programs. The above link also explains which use of Windows's "set defaults" works and which doesn't - isn't that just typical of sloppy MS programming, having two different places to do this and having only one of them actually working all the time.
