IE6 vs Opera

[JR]

A friend suggested I try Opera as an alternate browser which I did.. When I
first tried it
I was impressed with some of the features so went ahead and purchased it...
Mistake!!!!

Now, I have both IE6 and Opera installed but Opera is taking over. I have
tried to find a
way to make IE the default browser and only use Opera if I want to use it
for a specific
reason.. There doesn't appear to be a way to do this..

I even removed Opera (Add/Remove) but ended up with a problem in IE6 and OE6
where
links could not be accessed by clicking on the link..

I ended up reinstalling Opera but would either like to get rid of it without
affecting my
IE and OE settings or making IE the default browser..

Any suggestions?

TIA
