Make Netscape 8.x The Default Web Browser

ON A PC:
  1. The first time you ran Netscape 8, it should have asked you if you wanted to make Mozilla your default browser:

  2. When it did, if Yes was selected, that should have taken care of it.

  3. If No was selected, you'll be asked, "Netscape Browser is not currently set as your default browser. Would you like to make it your default browser?" every time you open it up. Simply clicking Yes will make Netscape 8 Browser the default browser.

    However if you UNchecked the box next to "Check at startup next time, too," you WON'T be asked again. You'll have to force it to ask you once more time by going to the Step 4 below.

  4. If it doesn't ask, or if the option doesn't appear, do this to make Netscape 8 your default Web browser:
  • Open up Netscape 8.x.
  • Pull down Tools.
  • Select Options.
  • Click General.
  • In the Default Browser group box, click the Check Now button to have Netscape Browser check whether it is currently set as your default browser. If not, it displays a prompt asking whether you want to make it the default. Click Yes to set Netscape Browser as your default browser.
  • Click OK or Save if either of those options appear.
PLEASE REMEMBER . . .
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE ON ALL YOUR COMPUTERS. MAKE SURE TO RUN IT AND UPDATE IT FREQUENTLY!! COMPUTER VIRUSES CAN BE ACQUIRED THROUGH OTHER MEANS THAN E-MAIL.

SOFTWARE TO COMBAT ADWARE AND SPYWARE IS ALSO A GOOD IDEA!

To COMBAT ADWARE, GO HERE.

NOTE: Ad-Aware is the name of the software that corrects the problem. Adware is the bad guy; it's not what you want. Yes, the names are very close. A good way to remember is: You're aware you need Ad-Aware.

TO COMBAT SPYWARE, GO HERE.
