W3Launch and IE5.5 Problem

[Mark Jordan]

Hi Donna,

We had the same problem, but our technicians were able to configure IE to
run the w3launch file without prompting. The fellow who did it says that
if you go to the same URL a second time, the line and checkbox will be
available. Unchecking the box is what you want to do at this point. He
also suggests making sure the 'file type' association for .w3l files is
set correctly.

Hope this helps,

Mark
