Default change default browser

Ray;
Try this: Open IE/Tools/Internet Options/Programs tab/make sure
"Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser" is
CHECKED.
Or

To reset Internet Explorer settings

If you installed another Web browser after installing Internet Explorer and
Internet Tools, some of your Internet Explorer settings may have changed.
You can reset your Internet Explorer settings to their original defaults,
including your home page and search pages, and choice of default browser,
without changing your other browser's settings.

1.. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2.. Click the Programs tab.
3.. Click the Reset Web Settings button.
Hope this helps. Let us know.
