Hello,
Thanks for posting!
I understand you cannot associate a program with IE. Please correct me if I
am off base.
Please help me know the exact program which you want to associate with IE
and the file type of the file which you need to open with IE. I would like
to suggest you following the below steps to check the file association.
Check the file association.
==============================
By default, Internet Explorer checks to see if it is the default browser
each time it starts. If Internet Document (HTML) files are associated with
a different browser when Internet Explorer starts, Internet Explorer
recognizes that it is not the default browser and prompts you to make it
the default browser.
To determine which program Internet Document files are associated with in
Windows, follow these steps:
1. On the desktop, double-click My Computer.
2. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options, and then click the File Types
tab.
3. In the Registered File Types box, click Internet Document (HTML). Check
the file association in the "Details for HTML extension" field, verify that
it shows "Opens with: Internet Explorer".
Hope the information helps. If there is anything that is unclear, please
feel free to let me know.
Thanks & Regards,
