Helper Applications

"Netscape Navigator allows you to access every type of file on the Internet. When the browser encounters a sound, image, or video file, it hands off the data to other programs, called helper applications, to run or display the file. Most of these helper apps are shareware or freeware that can be found at various archive sites around the world; you can configure them in the Helper Applications dialog box found under Preferences in the Options menu." [quoted from Netscape's Assistance on Helper Applications]
