Hi to the list.
In snow Leopard, in mail preferences, there seems to be a choice for
default mail reader, and the default choice is mail 4.1.
I was optimistic about this because of the less than optimal way in
which messages are often rendered.
I chose Safari for the mail reader, but noti
Hi all. How do I get vlc to show up in applications instead always
going through the disk image? I thought a window would pop up to ask

Also, how do I make it the default player for ogg files?
--~--~-~--~~~--
OK, first, open the disc image and find vlc.app.
Copy that file.
Press command shift A to go to your applications folder.
Paste the vlc.app file.
To set all ogg files to play in VLC,
Fine an ogg file in finder.
Press command I.
If using leppard, interact with the scroll area. If using sl, skip

Nope. That was not what I ment. I ment going into the settings,

JAWS needs this because it takes info off the screen and translates it
into something usable to us. Because VoiceOver doesn't work this way,
it doesn't need -- and doesn't have -- such a command. (I came over
