He has set Netscape as the default browser,so first open IE and select the Tools menu in the drop down list,choose Internet options,click the Programs tab at the bottom make sure that IE is set as the default browser,and reset web settings.
Now go to netscape and open browser from the file or view menu choose prefferences and go to list and locate browser and uncheck the default mail browser.Hope this helps

When you have completed the other two items, do the following;

slap your son, send him to bed without any supper and tell him not to install programs without your permission (unless, of course, he wants to buy himself another PC)

Hope this seems useful???

You can download the netscape and install it,and when you use your explorer(but don't forget to go to internet option and setup your homepage ) and when your son use he can use netscape.

enable profiles in the control panel, that way you can have your stuff be the default for you and he can have his stuff be the default for him.
