Hi there,
on my desktop there is a link to http://www.yahoo.com When I click this link
Opera starts. However as a browser I would like to start with Internet
Explorer. How can I change this ?
Many thanks in advance !
Marcel
 
Hi Marcel,

If it is a particular URL which you want to open with IE, follow what David
said.

In case, you want to change the default browser entirely to Internet
Explorer, try this:

Open Internet Explorer > Tools > Options > Programs and enable the option:
"Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser"
Close IE and open again. Click YES if you are prompted to set it as default
browser.

(or)

Download the .reg fix. Set Internet Explorer as default browser:

* Use this only if IE is installed in its default location [c:\Program
Files\Internet Explorer] *

Just double-click the .reg file.

Hi Ramesh,

thanks for your reply.

< Download the .reg fix. Set Internet Explorer as default browser:

I downloaded the .reg fix. What do I have to do next to carry it out ?
Thanks again,
Marcel
