In the past I've selected internet explorer as the main programme for the net but after doing some updates I've lost that setting and when for example I get a link via e-mail and click it my bt yahoo software opens instead of IE... how do I select IE as my main surf engine ?

I've done this a few times but cannot remember where I tick the box this time ?

Cheers

Start - All Programs - Set Program Access and Defaults

 

Spot on Daz That is not the way I remember doing it last time but that is exhactly what I want.

IE7 is quite good BTW...

(still at beta though)

 

A friend who spends a lot of time on computer forums has advised me to stay clear of it... he says the word is it reports back all your movemnets to microsoft, not sure if there is any truth in that or not but it sounds to big brother for my tastes

 

why use IE.....?

there are other better options like...

OPERA (I use this and its great)
FIREFOX

 

I've never tried those TBH.... now my pc is all sorted I might look into them a little more, thanks for that
