How can I make IE my default web browser when IE will not give me the prompt after changing settings?

I have tried telling IE to prompt me for my default web browser, but I do not receive the prompt after I restart IE. The box is checked in my settings to prompt me. I have also tried changing my windows programs and defaults, and this does not work. Whenever I try to load a website in my IE browser history, it loads in Firefox instead.How can I make IE my default web browser when IE will not give me the prompt after changing settings?
Personally I don't see why you would want to switch back to IE and leave the trouble-free and free FireFox, but here's what you can do.



Open Control Panel. Double-click Internet Options. Depending on what version of IE you have, your window may differ. Go to the Programs tab. There check the box that says to IE should check if it is the default program. Again, depending on you version, you may even have a button that says, Make Default. If your box is already checked, uncheck it, click OK. Then reopen Internet Options and this time check box again. Click OK.



Another solution could be to upgrade to the latest version of Internet Explorer by going to:
