O.P. Firefox and Internet Explorer
I have 2 accounts on Windows:
1 - Me
2 - Dad

I want Firefox to be set as default internet browser on my account...
and Internet Explorer to be set as default internet browser on my dads account

Is this possible?

When I set Firefox to default on my account, it also sets it on my dads account and vice versa.

Thanks.

This little freeware utility might be worth a try: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/defaultbrowser.htm

DefaultBrowser allows you set the default web browser for your user profile in Windows XP, without affecting the other users. Note that the user interface in Windows XP does not provide an option for setting the default browser for each user. The browsers you see in the Preset Configuration are tested and working flawlessly as user defaults.
