A Trojon Horse or a Dirty Trick ??

[Waccoon]

I prefer IE and use it for places I visit regularly.  For new sites or places with lots of pop-ups, I use Firebird

Another helpful tool to have that saves some registry hacking is AppPaths.  It's particularly helpful for Win2K users like me, because unlike Win98 and XP, 2K doesn't have MSConfig.
