Hi folks.

I have a Win XP SP2 pc in a domain that is shared by two different users.

The question is this........ How can i configure IE to be the
default browser for one user and Firefox for the other?

At the moment the default browser setting applies to all users and when
one changes it for themselves, the other user then logs in and has to
reset their default.

Any ideas??

Cheers :)
