The easiest way to keep IE from starting

Startfox 9 un-released

Startfox 9 needed a little more work before it was truely ready. Sorry for the inconvenience. The Startfox 9.1.3.0 build is availiblein the 'Beta' section of this webpage.

It's finally here!

After about a million years, Startfox 9 has been released. At least all this time wasn't completely a waste. While I was procrastinating, Mozilla released Firefox 3, which is availible as a download in the installer. Due to some incompatibilities with some add-ons, Startfox 9 installer also offers to download Firefox 2.0.0.14, however since it is primarily supposed to download Firefox 3, the complete version number of Startfox is 9.0.3.0.

 

Get it in the download section now!

Startfox has now been declared 100% Vista compatible.

Note: You will need the 8.01 patch.

Why would you need the 8.01 patch

Well, Startfox was originally developed on Windows XP for and as a patch for Windows XP and Server 2003. At that time, Windows Vista was released out of beta state. I guess out of Bill's humor, you need quotation marks to start batch files from registry. This patch will update version 8.0 to 8.01 for Vista. Note also that the patch was designed on Windows Server 2008 enterprise beta therefore you may or may not actually need the patch on Vista. If you do not wish to download the patch, please have Firefox already installed so you can revisit this site. You can download Firefox here. Otherwise, it may be a wise idea do download the patch here.


Note: you will still need the base: Startfox 8

Development of Project Starri has begun. Codename Starri beta 1 planned to be released next month to beta members. If interested in becoming part of the MS Must Go! beta team, please send me your name, and e-mail address to Microrant@gmail.com. Codename Starri is a step in the direction of expanding the IE Disabler Patch software line. Starri, planned to have gained the name "iStart" by its final release, is built upon the same technology and idea as StartFox. This patch is designed to replace IE with Apple Safari, rather than Firefox.
