Make IE the default browser

[steve4454]

I have both IE 6 and Netscape 7 on a Windows XP computer. At one point
Netscape asked me if I wanted to make it the default browser. I said yes.
But how do I go back to IE? I found a check in IE under TOOLS, INTERNET
OPTIONS, PROGRAMS, that says to "check" here if you want IE to always check
to see if it is the default browser. But so far it has not checked. I have
exited all programs and even restarted the computer but whenever I start IE,
it opens but does not ask if I want to make it the default browser.

What am I missing??

Thanks

Kelly's Korner has a tweak that can be used to set the default
browser. No.88 on this page (I'm guessing that if the tweak is
necessary, this must be a common problem with the IE always check
area.):
