I was doing a little debugging and set Mozilla as my default browser. It
was only meant to be temporary, but now I can't get IE back as default.
Under Tools-Internet Options-Programs, the box is checked that says IE
should check to see if it is default browser. But when I open IE, it
doesn't bring up the little window that asks. What do I do to get IE back
as default?

Menno,
Try this:
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.

Thank you! That did the trick. I still don't know why the little windows
wasn't coming up, but it doesn't matter now
