Someone downloaded this browser called firefox and they
clicked for it to be the default browser but I do not want
that to be the defalt browser I want inernet explorer to
be my default does anyone know how I switch that?
 
IE-Tools-Internet Options-Programs tab.
Check the box "IE should check...."
Close IE and reopen.

Alan,
I too allowed Firefox to be my default browser and to change it I went into
IE 6.0 Tools/Internet Options/Program and check the box to ask if IE should
be my default browser. I clicked on apply, then OK and closed IE. Re-booted
my computer and when I opened IE is did not see any dialog box asking if I
wanted IE to be my default browser. When I went to an email with a web link
and clicked on it, it opened Firefox instead of IE. What else should I try to
get IE to the default position?
Thanks,
Mike Butler
 
Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser - option does not work:
