Thanks to all the people who replied to this query. To recapitulate,
installing StarOffice 5.1 on Windows 98 had made it the default browser
instead of my preference, which was Netscape Communicator.

Most of you -- except one respondent whose message I have lost (thanks!) --
unfortunately had it wrong by suggesting that changing the file associations
for *.htm and *.html extensions would do the trick. This does but for
locally stored files only.

So I feel obliged to pass on the correct methods.

@ `How can I make Navigator 4.0x or Communicator the default
browser?',

This will work if Netscape is set to ask you to change the default browser
when it detects that it is no longer the default on launching. If this
preference has been switched off, try the following procedures which are
applicable to any browser:

@ `What registry entry controls default browser under Win95?',

@ `Working with the Windows 95 Registry',
