Re: Starting PC Applications

[Jeffrey Lee <jeff@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Some websites only run well in certain browsers. Esp. if you are using 
a website with certain programmed features. (I know this bites but it 
happens). Normally these sites are designed to run in explorer so I can 
justify needing to use it. Additionally if all of the computers have 
opera and the sysadmin recommends the employees use it then it may be 
nice to "force" users to work with it, for safety or security reasons.
