Default browser *****es

Switching from Internet to StarOffice and viceversa is not fun, as two browsers start quarrelling with each other and force me to react on '(this one) is not your standardbrowser'. In trying to open a S.O. document I'm asked to 'confirm S.O. as your standard browser' or 'don't alter'. Both choices lead me to a Desktop register and force me to via-viaclick the desired document once more. If I've got Internet Explorer, what's a StarOffice browser doing here then?? Or is this the same as asking why peanutbutter sandwiches fall with their faces down? (never understood that one either)

It looks like it did the trick. I also felt that a similar action in StarOffice was needed and changed Soffice in 'Opening with' into External. Hope the Digital Spirit will forgive me my deeds. Also, I meant an analog with fighting DOGS by the way, so you could at least have allowed the 'b' in the censored part!

Default browsers quarrel

If it works, it surely smells funny. There's no clickreaction anymore on links in my emails. I decided to change 'external' in StarOffice tools back to 'soffice', changed my mind and knocked in Dir.Tree on the map Soffice first. It made an ominous hollow sound...did I loose something vital there?
