617588 2007-12-03 09:13:00 On my laptop I accidentally set firefox as my default browser (It was IE), How do I change the default browser back to IE?

Thanks :)

hiya Speedy :), Thank you for replying to my thread

When I run IE, I get no messages saying that IE is not the default browser.

When I go to tools/internet options/programs tab "internet explorer should check to see whether its is the default browser" is already ticked & un-ticking it & re-ticking it does not help.

Any other ideas?

PS: The laptop is running IE 6.0 & Win XP Home SP2

or Start Menu => Run
control appwiz.cpl,,3

I think if you set it back to IE there it will stick
