Start | [Settings | Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | ] Set Program
Access and Defaults | Browser: Select IE (not "Use my current web Browser")
& OK your way out.

Now vow to pay closer attention whenever you're installing a new application
from now on. Select "Custom install" if available.

Or you can save yourself a few clicks and go straight to Set Program Access
and Defaults on the Start menu, just under the Control Panel icon, if that
option is there.
