According to Firefox setups, Firefox is set as my default browser.
However, apparently due to some XP Pro "updates", if Firefox is not already open, clicking on a link springs forth IE v8 :-(
How do I stop that?
Thanks!

Right click on any HTM(L) file and select the 'Properties' button. When the 'Properties' menu opens up select the 'Change' button, then click Firefox, follwed by the 'OK' button.

I don't know why John insists on using 'FTP' links. He should just dump the photos into an unlinked folder on his main website so that search engines don't find them. Then you don't need FTP capability to see it. It would probably load a lot faster, as well.
His FTP server is wide open, as well. I see about 107 files, and one extra folder there with two more files. He has very little security there, since it is a public FTP server.

Crap ;-)
I just downloaded a Cadence PDK... a directory for every file... Eunuchs, what a pile of crap ;-)

John has to prove his amateur status ;-) Though his Romanesco broccoli _does_ looks interesting.

They aren't fast on the other side of the country. Several took over five seconds to load, and one gave me a server error the first try. I have over 7 MB/s download speed here.

On my machine, (XP Pro SP-3), you click:
Start - Settings - Control Panel - Folder Options Then click on the File Types tab. Scroll down the list until you find the HTML file extention. Then, click the Change... button to reassign the program that will be used to open HTML files.
Repeat for HTM files, and any other file extentions you want Firefox to open.
My guess is you will find the file associations are currently set to IE instead of Firefox. And if so, I wonder why Firefox claims to be the default, when it clearly isn't.?

I think there is another setting that says "default browser". It has been a while since I used XP but I think it is in a different menu. It is in one that is something about web stuff IIRC.
It is the one that you use for browsing the internet.

From Dave Turner, an old Primenet compatriot:
Agent has an option to switch ftp to use Firefox.
Tools->Options->URL and MIME Settings->URL Types
Use the down arrow on URL: to find ftp: File Transfer Protocol
Uncheck the box "Share settings with the http protocol"
Set "Use custom settings (below)"
Browse to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
It just worked for me.

Worked for me ;-)

Wide open or read-only? The former could be a big problem. OTOH, I do need some extra space for my data. ;-)

OK, I stand corrected. And yes, I am dyslexic so DO have a problem reading...
Meant to write Firefox but was looking at my settings and got it backwards. Same process still stands - just substitute Firefox.

I am sorry about that then.

What he was saying is that despite his default selection, IE was "horning in".

No problem. I really should try harder to get these things straight. Horning in...I thought that things like that were all over following the last MS antitrust action. Oh, well. Same stuff, different day. <smile>
