Ummmm, yeah just go into the system preferenaces -> internet panel and
choose what you want as the default browser. Jesus, calm down already.

Hey! I found a way!:))
All you have to do is:
su
cd /Applications
rm -rf Internet\ Explorer
I did id it :)) worked, IE never launches!:-))))
Enjoy,

PS: Please also delete the Classic version of IE to secure its death.
I don't understand WHY IE IS MY default browser, Can't I decide myself
to choose what to use or why does it installs by default, Can't I not
install in the beginning? WHY??

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...
