Configuring Your Browser for Windows®
- If you use the web page MapletsForCalculus.html to access the Maplets on a Windows® machine,
your browser must be configured so that double clicking on a .maplet file opens the Maplet using

- C:\Program Files\Maple 9.5\bin.win\mapletviewer9.5.exe for Maple 9.5
- C:\Program Files\Maple 10\bin.win\mapletviewer.exe for Maple 10
- Check "Do this automatically for files like this from now on."
