Because that was the system default when Warp4 was released. Remember the
get Netscape object?

It's the Set Default button on the Browser page.

You are running with the defaults now.

Where are you looking? The File Objects will typically not have
associations assigned. The Program Objects should have associations
assigned. This was done when you run the installer for the application.
If they are gone now this might be a result of the on going WPS problems
you used to have. Just edit the Program Object properties and they will
be back.

The associations are dynamic. You should see a change to the Open menu as
soon as you change the association setups.

That is correct. The URL class knows what the default is set to. Junksky
has nothing to do with it.

>EXPLORE.EXE which is in \tcpip\bin\, and the properties for EXPLORE.EXE
>don't have any associations.

Correct.
