Hi vze2g6kx,

Open IE then go to Tools>Internet Options>Programs tab. Click in the
checkbox beside "Internet Explorer should heck to see whether it is the
default browser" and then click on Apply then OK. Close IE. Reopen IE and
when prompted to set it as the default browser, click on Yes.

Patti's method can only be accomplished if in fact you have installed IE and have an icon or .exe to open it. The simplest way to accomplish this is to first make sure that it has been chosen as one of the components to install. Go into your control panel
and then double click the add\remove programs to open the interface. Now on the left side you will see several options. The two that are of most interest to you are the "add\remove windows components" button and the "set program access and defaults" . Firs
t lets click the "Add\remove windows components" . You will now get a small screen showing what components are installed on your machine. In this case one of your choices is IE. You will need to put a check mark in the box beside the Internet Explorer Icon
and then click next and it will be installed in your start menu as well as adding a desktop Icon. If the box is already checked then close this window by clicking the cancel button down the bottom and then we will need to click the "set program access and
defaults". Here you will have three choices. "Microsoft windows" "Non-Microsoft" and "Custom" . If you click the double arrow to the right of any one of these choices you will see the options that you can chose by putting a dot in the circle. In your cas
e you may want to put a dot in "Microsoft Windows" and then all the options under their, including Internet Explorer, will be used. In my case I have a dot in Custom as I don't use Outlook for my mail and prefer an altenative java machine as well as a medi
a player to the one supplied. Then you should have full access to Internet Explorer and when you open it if it isn't set as your default browser you will get a window telling you so and asking if you want it set as the default browser. You can follow the p
op-up on screen prompts from there. Good luck
