SYMPTOMS
On client systems with Netscape 4.05 installed as the default browser, the Outlook 98 Deployment Kit (ODK) installs the Internet Explorer as the default browser after the system is rebooted and Internet Explorer configures itself.
WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, make the following registry changes in the systems registry. Afterwards, the
system will not check to see which application is the default browser. WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may
require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve
problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own
risk. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
