Red face Solved: Change Default Browser?
Not meaning to . . . I changed my default browser & I want to change it back & don't know how? The place where I changed it (IE>Internet Options>Programs) doesn't seem to have the option of changing it back? My default Was AOL ~~ Now is IE ~ ~ I WANT TO CHANGE IT BACK TO AOL.

You also should be able to do it this way:

Open AOL and go to Tools then click "Set AOL Explorer as Default" and click OK.
