default browser - HELP PLEASE

[Jordan]

Hi,
For some weird reason, MSN Explorer is currently set as
my default browser and whenever i click on my desktop
shortcut for 'Internet Explorer', it opens MSN Explorer.
How can i change my default browser back to Internet
Explorer 6?

Cheers,
Jordan

.Go to control panel-add/remove programs then click on

set program access and defaults,in the microsoft section
you can select internet explorer as your default web
browser.
But if your IE icon is opening up MSN explorer you should
right click the shortcut and make sure the path points to
IEXPLORE.exe and not MSN explorer,regardless of what is set
as the default the icon should open the correct program.

Hi Jordan,

Open Internet Explorer > Tools > Options > Programs and enable the option:
"Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser"
Close IE and open again. Click YES if you are prompted to set it as default
browser.

(or)

Download the .reg fix. Set Internet Explorer as default browser:

* Use this only if IE is installed in its default location [c:\Program
Files\Internet Explorer] *
