BT Yahoo Browser causing difficulty

Feb 11th, 2005
Hi

I'm based in the UK and just upgraded to braodband with BT Yahoo. Part of the package is BT Yahoo Browser. Just another web browser. Everytime I click a link in an email or document etc it opens the BT Yahoo browser not IE6. I have tried checking the "check IE is the default web browser button" but it does nothing. Any idea how I get IE6 to be my only web browser or do I need to uninstall the BT yahoo browser?
