clicking on links in email

[sweetcheekies]

Okay sorta a long story to get to the point sorry. I am having to use my old computer that ran on AOL until my other computer gets fixed.. so I put my ethernet card in this old puter so i can use my dsl.. that all works.. but when i am in my email and if it has a link I want to click on it tries to start up my AOL. How can I get it to stop doing that and just open up Internet explorer like a normal computer would ( one without AOL on it ) I don't want to remove AOL. because when my other computer comes back the kids will be using this one. thanks for any help you can give me

Any computer with AOL is not normal.
Go to the control panel.
Open internet tools
go to the connections tab

under dial-up and virtual private network settings
click the radio button that states
Never dial a connection

Select the Programs tab
Put a check on the box that reads
Internet explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser.

Click ok
