Internet-Options

How do I change default programs in Internet Explorer?

............................................................................................

Internet Explorer 7

and select the" Programs " tab. Make sure the message "Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser" is selected.

If not, then check it. Press OK and close Internet Explorer. Now the link in your email should bring up a website.

Note: If you are in a document and click a hyperlink but nothing happens, try holding down Control and clicking the link.

This should open the link in your browser.

Internet Explorer 9

To do this, start Internet Explorer then click on the "Gear" symbol (upper right hand corner)

then you get a drop-down box:

Note: With IE 8, if you have difficulty seeing you top toolbar ( File - Edit - View - Favorites - Tools ), as I did, try this, I move my mouse along top edge, then left clicked,where I thought Internet Options would be, then it showed up! (see below - in red circle!)
