Unhappy Want to make MSN default browser
When I click a link in my email .. it goes directly to Internet Explorer.

I have to manually open MSN Explorer to surf.

How do I change and what do I change in my settings to get MSN to open whenever I click a link??

Also I have imported my favorites list to MSN .. but when I click the link in my start button "favorites" .. the new ones I have added since I have been using MSN are not there .. can anyone help me there ??

Thank you to anyone for your ideas.

It is most likely within the options of the MSN browser...try going to Tools> Settings and see what you can find...if you can't find a button to make it default you probably can check a box to make it check when it starts to see if its the default then restarting it, it will ask you if you would like to make it the default.

I have looked for every possible setting I can find and I can't find anything that will "make msn my default browser".

I have even went into IE to try to undo the fact that it is my default browser right now. Everything is greyed out and will not let me change it.

Any other ideas ?

It's quite a difficult one and requires registry entires to add MSN Explorer to the Program Access and Defaults list.

I will find the link for you.
