Re: Changing browser

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

My guess would be: Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Set Program Access and Defaults and make FireFox the default browser.

If that doesn't work, try an IE newsgroup. This is OE.

For Internet Explorer questions not pertaining to Outlook Express, please post to one of the following:

IE6 Specific Newsgroup:

Hi,

I have an eMachines T6520 computer with an "enhanced" keyboard. At the top of the keyboard it has "internet" buttons: "Internet", "E-Mail" "Search," "Backward", "Forward" etc..
When I press E-mail, it opens Outlook Express and when I press Internet, it opens Internet Explorer and takes me right to my Comcast homepage.
It's handy and I guess I'm spoiled.
I just downloaded Mozilla Firefox and wondered if you can tell me how to change it so that when I press Internet it would open Firefox instead and still take me to the comcast homepage.
Win XP SP2
My computer is out of warranty and eMachines telephone support is thus Pay-as-you-go.

Thanks, ... Fred
