Koasati is right and I should have added that. Stardock uses the IE engine and if you go out of SDC or WC browsers then you're stuck with IE. There is no work around for it....

....can I have the next dance Randy?

Koasati, and Yrag..no fair posting while I,m still typing

Only if you can two step, Gary...... and I'm leading.  

I'm your's, Honey

Now it's just getting mushy in here

China's going to be jealous yrag!

I'll just have to 'Satisfy' both....

If you want the links to open in any thing other than IE or the SDC browser (same thing), you have to do the copy and paste dance.

Oh well, I guess I just will have to live with IE then (I am way to lazy to dance early in the mornings!)

Thanks for your help anyway

Orion: simply put I don't like any other browsers but IE. I have never been hijacked or hacked. I can't even remember the last time I got a virus. All my ports are stealthed and blocked and I don't use a credit card so I don't have to worry about all the identity theft crap. I do value my time but I am only a simple home user, I don't use this PC for business or income (with the exception of a few ebay deals here and there) so whats your point?

If you prefer IE then more power to you. You should use whatever works best for you. IE has been shown to have a lot of security flaws. If you haven't run across any of the malaware out there then you're luckier than a lot of others. Even if Mozilla/Firefox didn't have better security a lot of people would prefer it for the better features.
And if you've used Ebay then you've had to put some financial info out there, and stealthing and blocking ports doesn't block hijackers or some of the newer attacks.

Well to this day I have never had any problems with security. I have Mozilla installed but I just don't use it. As you say, maybe I am lucky. As far as ebay goes I do everything through Paypal. Not had a problem with them either.
