To completely remove IE as the “internal default” browser in Windows 7, here’s how you can do it: 1. Go to Start -> Default Programs
Click on Set Program access and computer default
Click on Custom
Uncheck the field Enable access to this program beside the Internet Explorer field. Click Ok.
This will prevent the system from accessing the application and force Windows to use the intended default as the default browser. 5. Go to your favorite browser Options page and set the browser as the default again. When you open your link or .html files in your Word document or Windows Explorer, it will now launch in your intended default browser. That’s it.
