Help: Problems with an Netscape shortcut

[Elisabeth Roche]

I'm curious, do the other sites you have success with have file name
extensions .html?  The three letter .htm may be associated with IE in your
file extension associations and you will have a devil of a time
unassociating it.

If I remember correctly, you can't do it. The IE will steal it away from
Netscape every single time.
A "bug" so to speak. More like a control issue. hahahaha...

You may have to edit the .ini file directly.

Just something to check out. I read about this IE versus Netscape browser
capture at the Netscape Communicator bugs forum.
