Change Default from MSN to IE

I am trying to assist a client of ours with a configuration issue. I don't know what order the software was installed, but I do know both IE and MSN are installed.

MSN is currently the default browser.

They need to have IE back as the default browser because of an application issue.

I know that you can go into windows explorer > tools >folder options...and change the file association. To me, this is a hack.

Is there another...proper way of changing the default browser association.

 

Hello jedi,

Is there another...proper way of changing the default browser association

Start > set program access and default > custom. The first item is the Browser.

Charles...Thanks

 

Hi jdi,

Thinking about my answer, I made two assumptions: that the OS is XP and that SP2 is installed.

set program access and default was added directly to the start menu with SP2. pre-SP2, it was and still is in the Add/Remove applet left sidebar.

Thanks

The OS was XP SP2. I should have mentioned this first. Either way, it was the correct solution...and it worked too.
