Use Win98SE, and IE6.

Just deleted Foxfire, and now I try to access certain programs (Belarc is one), and I get a PROGRAM NOT FOUND screen.

Windows cannot find FIREFOX.EXE needed to open files of type 'HTML File'. I am asked to type in the location FIREFOX.EXE after C:\

I have searched files and folders, and Firefox is not there.

Any ideas?

Check file associations. Set HTML files to open using IEXPLORE.EXE.

Control Panel -> Folder Options -> File Types

My bad. I gave you directions for XP instead of Win 98. The easiest way to get instructions is to open Windows Help (Start -> Help) select Index from tabs and scroll down to:

File extensions
associating with programs

Detailed instructions are provided.

Set HTML files to open with IEXPLORE or EXPLORER.

Or you can reinstall Firefox and then check your internet explorer options. Check internet options, programs tab, and make sure that Internet explorer should check to see if it is the default browser is checked. When you open internet explorer make sure to click yes when prompted if internet explorer should be the default broswer and then uninstall firefox. (What you did last time was make firefox the default broswer and now you want to uninstall it.) Hope this was helpful

Simple fix:

Open the browser you want to be the default.
Set the browser to be your default browser.

For IE:
Open IE.
Click on Tools, Internet Options.
Click on the Programs tab.
Check the box labeled "Internet Explorer should check that it is the default browser"
Click on Apply.

Close and then open IE.

A window should pop up asking if you want IE to be the default browser.
Click on Yes / Okay.
