What version of Netscape, and which OS?  There should be at least a prefs.js
under the user's directory, for example: C:\Program
Files\Netscape\users\user_name\prefs.js.  Netscape won't ask if want it as
default unless that value is set to 'false'.

Thanks to all who responded,but unfortunately, something is different on
this machine than the usual. IE's "check for default" option is already
disabled. I can't find any such option for Netscape, but there is no
prefs.js file on the machine,either. Any ideas?
