Default browser problem

Default browser problem

I had XP SP2 with all updates automatically installed by Windows Update. 
My default browser is Firefox.

Now SP3 has been installed, and something keeps changing the defauklt 
back to IE. This is really annoying.

How can I stamp on that?

Control Panel->Internet Options->Programs->IE Should Check

or

IE->Tools->Internet Options->Programs->IE Should Check

So you need to set the Fox as your Default browser?
1... Click start >> Control Panel >> Double Click Network and Internet
Connections >> Double click Internet Options, on the IE Properties window
you will see these Options:
General | Security | Privacy | Content | Connections | Programs
| Advanced .

Click on  Progrmas Tan and make sure this check box is UNCHECKED:
  [     ] Tell me if Internet Explorer is not the default web browser.
click [Apply] then [OK]

Also make sure this also set correct:
1... Click start >> Control Panel >> Add/Remove programs >> Set Program 
access and default:
WExpand >>(*) Custom:
Choose a default web browser:
 (  ) Use my current web browser
 (  ) Internet Explorer
 (*) Mozilla FireFox

Then on  the Fox browser:
Tools >> Options >> Click pn Advanced tab and make sure this checked:
Systemm Defaults:
  [    ] Always check to see if Fox is the default browser on Startup!

Click [OK] and you are done.
If you want the opposite then reverse back gear <G>
HTH,

Re: Default browser problem

Many thanks for both answers. I have also been told about:

Start | Set Program Access and Defaults | Expand Custom and choose Firefox.

Then expand "Non-Microsoft", and you can see that FF is the default.

Bump!                        thx   !     It was the first day of
school.As the principal made his rounds, he heard a terriblecommotion
coming from one of the classrooms.He rushed in and spotted one boy,
taller than the others, who seemed to be making the most noise.He
seized the lad, dragged him to the hall, and told him to wait there
until he was excused.Returning to the classroom, the principal restored
order and lectured the class for half an hour about the importance of
good behavior."Now," he said, "are there any questions?"One girl stood
up timidly. " Please sir," she asked, "May we have our teacher back?"
