I did an unattended Windows 2000 and when starting IE it says
"Internet Explorer is not the default browser" although I do not
have any other browsers, its just a straight install (bare) well OK
I did HFSLIP IE6 into it, maybe thats whats made it think its not
default because IE6 has replaced IE5 but, does anyone know
what registry setting it is to make IE6 the default browser and
to not pop up that box?

Thanks for all the help everyone but I think this might be the fella....

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"ShowedCheckBrowser"="Yes"
"Check_Associations"="No"
