IE Crap
Jim Thompson
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.
A link like this:
<http://home.earthlink.net/~mike.terrell/Shih-tzu-002b.jpg> loads
quickly, even on Earthlink's slow & old personal webspace servers. FTP
is A LOT SLOWER for the same file.
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.

That's 68K bytes. It would load fast from anywhere. This is 69K
ftp://jjlarkin.lmi.net/CW_second_tunnel.jpg
and loads just about instantly. R1.jpg is over a meg, so that you can
resolved the fractal structure.

Of course it's wide open. It's a public FTP site.

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.

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.

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

Meant to write Firefox but was looking at my settings and got it backwards.
Same process still stands - just substitute Firefox.

What he was saying is that despite his default selection, IE was

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

There are several FREE file hosting sites.

Several times I tried to see what he was linked to and was either
denied access, or only got part of the file. I use 'Coffee Cup FTP' to
upload files to my websites, but it's a pain to keep adding 'servers'
for a file or two only to have problems with the files.

Strike anywhere matches stay lit long enough to light a bon fire for all
but the most idiotic dopes' aptitudes for the task. Lighting a flare is
just plain stupid.
