MTOW:
We need to know which OS you use! Assume XP?
I've made IE the preferred Internet connection in the Taskbar.
- exactly where is this on your 'taskbar'?
How did you make it 'default'?
What have you set in Firefox/Tools/Options/Main/system Defaults?
Do you have IEXPLORE.EXE in the system drive\Program Files\Internet Explorer folder?
When checking the properties of IE
-where are you doing this and on which icon?
What happens when you double click on this file?
