    My bad.  I always remove the word Mozilla from the target folder during 
my installs of Firefox.

    It will automatically select the top entry which is usually Edit, but 
that does not mean that entry is set as the default.  You will know that an 
entry IS considered as the default when you choose an entry and find that 
the Default button can no longer be selected.

    This is the first time that you fully described the steps you take to 
open up the files that are causing you grief.  I now understand that you are 
trying to open them across the network from within My Network.  This doesn't 
exactly tell me why they still won't open (I'll continue searching for an 
answer), but it does help narrow down the suspects a bunch.       lol

    You're right in that I meant for you to OK the settings and not Cancel 
out of any of it, so it's a good thing you're 'on the ball'.  I had just 
finished another tutorial for someone else where they needed to Cancel out 
of all open windows and I must have been more tired than I thought.

    Since you can get them showing fine in IE by using "Open with", try the 
same thing (Open with), but with Firefox.  I'm just curious.  After the 
attempt, use the Start > "Set program access and defaults" shortcut to 
return default browser control to IE.

    You are more than welcome to send it to me, but it sounds like a coding 
error and I'm not a Powerpoint coder.
