    I define Internet Explorer like my default navigator (and every know solutions). On when i use Messenger and when click on HTTP link, it's always Netscape Navigator wich use to open the HTML Page. Is someone know where à can find a documentation for configuring the file PREFS.JS.
    Perhaps i can find on spécifique option to open an external browser like IE.

    Thank you for your helps.

    Welcome to the Forum, seb93!

    Hi seb93,

    To be certain that I am understanding you:
    • Internet Explorer is your default browser
    • You want Internet Explorer to open when clicking on a link in Netscape Mail

    If I understand you correctly, then you can add this script to your prefs.js file:
    user_pref( "network.protocol-handler.external.http ", true);

    Copy the above line, and paste it at the bottom of the prefs.js file, making it the last line.

    To open the prefs.js file:
    Start | Programs | Accessories | Notepad
    Click on: File | Open
    Navigate to the prefs.js file

    You don't mention what version of Netscape you are running. If you are running Netscape 7.x, the prefs.js file can be found in the *.slt folder. See the Profile Folder Location for your OS.

    If you are running Netscape Communicator, your prefs.js file will be located here:
    C:\Program Files\Netscape\Users\username

    Ensure that Netscape is closed when you edit prefs.js. Back up the file before editing, or better yet, the entire Profiles or Users folder, whichever applies.

    Ramona :D

    NOTE:
    I have edited the script to read:
    external.http
