    Internet Explorer has a mind of it's own.

    Hi

    I've tried over and over to tell it that Google Chrome is my default browser but every time I open a link it opens in Internet Explorer.

    Does anyone know how to tell IE it's not the default browser?

    Mike

    Had a similar problem Mike, with email links wanting to open in IE10
    First try to launch "Default Programs" from the control panel
    Select Chrome and Choose defaults for this program, select all.
    If that doesn't work then same place but choose Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
    Scroll and look for file extensions that may still be associated with IE. Select->Change Program.

    It is never my intent to sound abrupt or discourteous. Often I am just being as quick and succinct as possible, since I assume getting a fast response to your issues is as important to you as seeing your issue resolved is to me. I apologize in advance for any unintended hurt. Best regards Randy.
