When I click on an attachment that requires a browser to open, it opens with netscape. I would

2. found it (at least for windows xp)
click on "start" then "add or remove programs" then on the left click "set programs and defaults" then for me I have 4 options and "custom" is selected - open the drop down menu (button on right) and in there is a place to set the default browser, email, and media player.

Hope that helps.
