After using some ISP software (then uninstalling it including their
branded browser) some quick launch shortcuts are now launching with IE
rather than my default browser Firefox.
How can I put this back to normal please?
Firefox is the "default browser" but any url shortcut I create now
launches IE.
Many thanks.

Hi Robert,

Use the Set Program Access and Defaults Feature to set Mozilla Firefox as
the default. See the following link for more info:
