[Tommy Bollman]

Hello Gregory.
You should file that as a bug. VmWare shouldn't interfere with system settings when it is not running.

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.
