greatsilverwyrm is my HERO!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

helped me fix everything AND told me how

In Internet Explorer...

 

 

 

1. Click Tools and click Internet Options.

 

 

 

2. Click the Programs tab.

 

 

 

3. Click to select the Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser check box.

 

 

 

4. Click OK.

 

 

 

5. Start Internet Explorer and when you are prompted to make it the default browser, click Yes.

For anyone else having this problem..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

in Internet Explorer go to Tools > Internet Options > |Programs| and check "Internet Explorer should check tos ee whether it is the default browser"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then next time you restart it, you'll be prompted to set it as the default browser.

If you are still having problems download this file and "merge" with your registry

Note: I will not be held acountable for any issues arrising from this registry modification

Yah, the first way didn't work when I was trying to move from netscape to ie a long time ago. Merc's registry key worked perfectly though. It was on a windows 2000 computer, I don't know why it never asked me through a prompt.

your giving up on firefox/netscape/msn/aol.. etc!? :shock:

He wanted to switch because his site wasn't displaying properly in anything but IE, but it was just a CSS error and I helped him sort it out.

I say you'd have been much better off downloading an extension such as this one, it lets you right click any link and open it in IE (you can also make a list of websites that will always appear in IE too).
