Hi Dan! Instead of the program access and defaults thing you can also do it in Internet Explorer itself: 1. Go to tools, then Internet options 2. There find the programs tab 3. Tab till you get to "set as default" button; press space on it to confirm it 4. Tab to OK and close the options Well, that's it :) Martina
