[X4U] default application

[Gregory Wiest]

I found it!  It was a preference setting in VMWare Fusion.  It was overriding all of my local default settings.  I wasn't aware that those settings had any influence on my host system, when no virtual systems were running.

Greetings,

When I use the get info window and check change others, I keep getting Internet Explorer as installed on VMWare instead of what I want. I hope that someone on this list can offer a helpful hint.
