Navigator looking for DAP

Rest in Peace My Friend

If you remember my friend had a problem after installing DAP (download Accelerator Plus). Any folder he opened had the contents completely or partially hidden and he had to close the shield (for lack of a better term) that was hiding his contents. Well we fixed that by uninstalling DAP.

However Navigator 6.0 wants to use/"it links to' DAP whenever he wants to download a file. Seems like Navigator still thinks DAP is installed as a "plug in". How do i correct this. I do not use Navigator myself but I would assume that somewhere in the Registry Navigator is still pointing to DAP, if so what do I replace the Registry link to DAP with (If you understand my meaning).

Or can this be done within Navigator itself, if so how?
 
I've no clue about how to use netscape myself but I'd think somewhere in the options menu is a plug-in dialog where you can tell it what to use to open what with, and what's installed or not.
 
no clue t'kron
but installing another download manager perhaps does the trick
a right click and select save as should not open up DAP i think
 
Or reinstall DAP and manually go into its menu and tell it not to integrate with the browser

(?)
 
I just came back from his house. I found a Plug N Play folder in his Navigator folder, there was a file called xxdap.dll (I do not remember what the xx charaters were) I renamed that file and now Navigator no longer invokes DAP to download files but it does download the files, so problem solved. Thanks

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
