Because I went Start > Programs but there was no IE in the program list. It baffles me. I can get to IT (or www.msn.com) because I do have an msn.com s/c onl my desktop.


Another oddity is that when--at msn.com--I go tools > options > Programs tab and take a look at the check box "Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default." It's generally checked; should it not be, I check it. Now I read on the net that I should click "Apply" and then "OK" after which "the next time I run IE, a confirmation dialog box should appear asking you whether you want it to be the default browser again. Now click 'yes'". But that never happened since I installed Firefox. Go figure. FF remains my browser. Have you some suggestions?
