Getting rid of explorers

When I clicked on "Technotes" in the Apple Documentation, the Internet Explorer came up, which I did not like.
So I changed the application responsibel for 'html', 'HTML', etc. to OmniWeb.
No good.
I renamed the unwanted Explorer.
No good.
I copied it to some other location, deleted the thing in /Applications
No good.
I copied it to my Next-computer, deleting it on my Mac.
No good.
I disconnected my Next-computer from the Mac.
Finally no more explorer! But instead of using the already running OmniWeb a new copy of it was started, which is also a bit silly.

I guess that this very persistent behaviour of the explorer has something to do with aliases.
Is there some documentation, which explains aliases, the HFS+ filesystem and similar things?

Gerriet.
