I have IE 7 on Windows XP Home, gmail, and google toolbar. I have started to
get this message every time I log on: "Internet Explorer is not your default
browser. Would you like to make it your default browser?" I always click the
yes box, but it happens again when I next log on.
Second, I look at my mail in Outlook Express, it always asks me to give my
gmail password: is that standard, and if not can I stop it from happening?
Thanks to anyone who has any answers.
Hi Peter,
First of all sorry for the wrong Post which meant to Paul.
1... Click start >> Control Panel >>Double click Add/Remove Programs >>
click Set Program Access and Defaults.
Click on the Double arrow to display the options for custom Radio Button and
select the IE7 as your Default Browser and also you can see if Outlook
Express is your default E-mail client.
Also do this:
2... Click start >> Control Panel >> Double Click Network and Internet
Connections >> Double click Internet Options, on the IE Properties window
you will see these Options:
General | Security | Privacy | Content | Connections | Programs
| Advanced .
Click on Programs Tab and see if the IE browser is check to check if it is
the default browser is checked [ ].
To the Password Issue:
On your Outlook Express click Tools >> Accounts >> Highlight the account you
want to set the remember password and click Properties.
On Properties you will see these options:
General | Servers | Connection | Security | Advanced | IMAP.
Click Server Tab, there you will see under:
Incoming Mail Server;
Account name: [ nass ]
Password : [********** ]
[ ] Remember password <= Check this after you inered your
Password in the password box.
uncheck this:
[ ] Log on using Secure Password Authentication
Just leave to:
[ ] My Server requires auth <= check this Box.
Click [OK] and close the Outlook Express and Hit F5 then Open he OE and see
if it6 will ask you about the Pass.
HTH.
Let us know.
