Okay, I see the field now -- the Browser tab. But *why* did each object
install with EXPLORE.EXE in this field? There must be a system-wide
setting somewhere which caused this since Sundial says they didn't do
it.

Well I don't know why. This is default stuff from somewhere or other.

There *aren't* any associations set for any of the browser executables
(Netscape 2.02 & 4.61, Mozilla, Opera, WebExplorer) or their
corresponding objects. The URL objects picked up EXPLORE.EXE apparently
when the Junk Spy installer created them.

The browsers won't take the URL objects. I can't even drag the URL
objects and drop them onto Opera or Mozilla -- there's no response. If
I drag and drop onto Netscape 4.61 there's an error message "not found".

Steven, I don't see it. I installed Junk Spy which created these
UniformResourceLocator objects and Sundial says they didn't specify the
Browser field value. The Browser value shown in the Properties is
EXPLORE.EXE which is in \tcpip\bin\, and the properties for EXPLORE.EXE
don't have any associations.

I'll check back with Sundial. Maybe they know.
