It was convenient to change my default web browser from Firefox to IE. When
Firefox was the default browser, Control panel>Internet
Options>Programs>Programs, the switch to IE was intuitive. Proprietary
interest seems to have trumped functionality.
Following that same path, the option to switch browsers no longer exists.

How can I reinstall FF as my default browser?
