In Netscape 4.xx, you would add the following to PREFS.JS. Does it work in K-Meleon?

user_pref("browser.wfe.ignore_def_check", false);

No. K-Meleon doesn't have a Default Browser check feature.

There could be a real simple solution to this. I was forced at work today to find out how to dis-associate an ext to whatever app it's has been associated to because a user tried to open something they shouldn't have doen and clicked 'yes, always use this' crappy feature of windows.

If you open up cmd prompt (DOS window), try this:

C:\> assoc .html

Returns the app associated with that extension - in my case:

C:\> assoc .html
.html=K-Meleon.HTML

Now, with a bit of messing, to clear an association using above example:

C:\> assoc .html=

That's now cleared!

To assign .html to K-Meleon:

C:\> assoc .html= K-Meleon.HTML

&

C:\> assoc .htm= K-Meleon.HTML

!

the 'assoc' command doesn't seem to work on the version of messDOS included with my win98se install... is it an NT thing?

Nick,

Thanks for the solution. Found yet another one. There is a browser chooser utility that was designed to work with IE 5 and Netscape 6 that does the trick in the registry.
