How do I change the default browser?

When you open a different browser, Windows asks you if you want this
browser to be the default browser until you check the box that says
don't show me this any more. Well, after checking that box, I have
decided that I really do want to change the default browser and I am
wondering how to get Windows XP to show me that dialog box again.

Re: How do I change the default browser?

Start | Settings | Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Set Program Access
and Defaults | Click on the downward-pointing arrows to the right of the
configuration that's already checked | Browser
