I am trying to setup my parrents computer with two users
and have two different mail programs, one for each user.
The first program is Incredimail, the second is Outlook
Express. Each time one of the users logs in it asks it
states that their "chosen" browser is no longer the
default one. So they switch it. Then the other user logs
in and their chosen browser is not the default one.

Is there a way to set individual default browsers in XP??

thanks

That's one of those global settings deals - you may have to write a logon
script to import the appropriate registry entries for each user as they
logon.
 
Brian,

Not possible without a third-party utility. However, XP allows you register an Internet Browser or E-mail Client With the Windows XP Start Menu on Per-User basis:
