I'm currently using IE 6 however, I don't have it set as
my default browser. How would I do that?
Because I'm using a logitech internet access keyboard and
the search, email, homepage buttons don't work anymore.
Well at least the IE doesn't open up when I push those
buttons. They were working perfectly before until I
recently installed another internet browser. So now I'm
back to using IE 6.

Thanks ahead

1. IE Tools>Internet Options>Programs>Browser> select IE, then check the "IE
should check to see..." box at bottom.

2. Email: What Mail Client (e.g., Outlook Express) or online mail account do
you want to be the default?

Thanks, I did that and closed all my windows to see if it
works but still nothing comes up. It only works when I
already have an IE window open.

I have a yahoo account.
 
1. After you've checked the box and closed all IE windows, open a new IE
window and you should be presented with a "Do you want IE to be your default
browser?" prompt.

What alternative browser had you toyed with, Netscape? Have you uninstalled
it via Add/Remove Programs?

If none of the buttons in the easy access section work, then it's not a
problem with Internet Explorer. Reinstall the necessary software for the
keyboard and reconfigure the buttons (refer to the manual if such option is
available).
