Question
Hi Lorry:
I have both IE and the butterfly. How can I make IE my default browser?
Thank you.
Hi Susan,
With Internet Explorer opened, go to Tools, Internet Options, under the Programs tab - check "Internet Explorer should check whether it is the default browser", click Apply, then OK. Close Internet Explorer. The next time you open Internet Explorer it will ask if you want to make it the default browser, answer yes.
Hope this helps!
Lorry

| Comment | Thanks, Lorry. No viruses were found. I cringe at having to do System Restore again as I thought the last one, in September, would have been the end of that. *sigh* At least I do have your expert opinion on the way to proceed. | ||
