changing default browser

Expand Post »

I'm trying to change my default browser for IE to Google. Following the instructions in the Help, it says to click the Search button on the toolbar, then 'Customize' and choose from the options displayed. But every time I click the customize button, it starts trying to go to some other IP address, which I don't have access to from my company, and locks up my IE. Any clue? Thanks in Advance

Re: changing default browser

You can download http://www.google.com/google.reg from google that will change it for you. You will need to be a local administrator for this to work though.

You can also add the google toolbar and skip the search button. This is my personal preference, but to each their own.

Google toolbar: http://toolbar.google.com/
