This utility is not for people who exclusively use Microsoft Internet Explorer. Actually, it's not for much of anyone. But here it is. Do with it what you will.
DefaultPluginPro is for Windows only. As of June 2002, it works in current versions of Netscape (3.x?, 4.x, 6.x, 7.x), Opera, Mozilla and Mozilla-based web browsers, and possibly other browsers that support Netscape-style plug-ins (but not any version of MSIE). It is intended for power users, and not for computer novices -- it does not even have an install program.

If you install DefaultPluginPro, what you will see instead is something like this:
Okay, so it's not actually professional-looking, but at least it's functional.
