How do I change which is the default Browser?

238997 2004-05-24 11:00:00 1. Open Microsoft Internet Explorer.

2. Pull down the Tools menu and select Internet Options.

3. Select the Programs tab.

4. Click the box next to "Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser" and click OK

5. Close Internet Explorer.

6. Reopen Internet Explorer. A window will appear asking whether you'd like Internet Explorer to be your default browser.

7. Click "Yes"

238998 2004-05-24 11:31:00 Thanks - but not quite there :(6) doesn't happen and Mozilla still acts as default!
Mozilla's button for selecting it as default is NOT "grayed out" so it shouldn't be the default!?
Should I just delete Mozilla and reinstall ?

238999 2004-05-24 11:46:00 I know of a little utility you can download, for IE default problems - but it only works on XP. There may be a 98 version but i dont know. re-installing may work, but it might install as the default which would be pointless. i would consider removing it and seeing what happens. agent_24 (4330)
