Making Internet Explorer the default web browser
If you install another browser after IE, you may find that it is no
longer your default browser. To put it back again, run IE and go to
the Tools, Internet Options box and look at the Programs tab. Check
the very last box, "Internet Explorer should check to see whether it
is the default". Press Ok, and when you next run IE, a confirmation
dialog box should appear asking you whether you want it to be the
default browser again. Click Yes.
