-> Hello Shane,


-> -> This setting is in the registry.  For IE5, it's at
-> -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\internet explorer\advanced
-> -> options\browse\browse_new_proces\

-> -> There are a bunch of variables in there, but the one that probable
-> -> the difference is 'DefaultValue'={'yes','no'}

-> Thanks for the info, not sure how I can use it though or if I should.

-> -> I haven't looked at IEAK at all, does it provide a way for you to 
-> -> the registry?  If not, you'd need some kind of program you could e
-> -> from IEAK that would do it.

-> If it does I don't see it.

-> -> Remeber though, it's only needed if the user is using virtual wins
-> -> connect.  Otherwise, you shouldn't need this setting.

-> I understand this but you see I need a good installer program that will
-> put on WcNav with the latest browser on a CD. I would really like to
-> make the install a little more user friendly. The way it is now is just
-> too many hoops for the point and click users we have to jump through to
-> be able to install the program and connect with the system.

-> I am open to a better way???? Any way that makes it user friendly. I
-> want to stress that I feel for WcNav to fly it has to be user friendly
-> from the install to it's use.

-> Take care and thanks for your help,
-> Tracy


What's not user friendly about it? It's a basic installation, with only
two questions, where to put it, and what to call the start menu for it,
both which are defaulted.  If there is some usability issue with the
installer, please explain it so I can address it.

The only thing not built in to the installer is the web browser.  The
reason for that is that most people are using 32 bit browsers at this
point, and some many updates/patches etc. are appearing for browsers at
this point, it's an item best left alone.   

What I would suggest is getting some kind of autorun utility which lets
you build an autorun program, which you could build menu's in (like the
one we use on our cd), have a button for the web browser installer, the
wcnav installer, and instructions button to provide some basic
instructions, and maybe an 'about our company' button.
