Set the pref to omniweb, close the system preferences, open them
again, see if the setting is the same. If it is, shut down the
computer (do not restart, do not log out) then turn the computer back
on, the setting should now be "Stuck"
Do not open IE again or the setting will revert.

How is it every time I double click on a URL from a Carbon/Cocoa app (eg.
Sherlock) in 10.0.4 (also with earlier versions), it automatically
launches Infernal Explorer, even when I've (repeatedly) selected OmniWeb
in my System Prefs->Internet->Web. There's me trying to get my head
around DXF files & OpenGL in Cocoa, when nasty Microsoft apps start
loading up and requiring my attention.
Is something reverting the pref (sometimes it lasts a whole restart
without getting changed back), would it help if I write-protected the
appropriate file, or does Apple only approve of us using IE? Or is it a
covert attempt by Apple to sting Microsoft by adding to the anti-trust
monopoly charges... after all IE is now inseparably tied to MacOS X as
well as Windows, it appears. Why else is it the only 3rd party app to get
the Software update facility?

Sorry about the rant. What am I saying I'm not sorry at all it's made me
feel loads better...
