How do I change default browser?

When I click on html links a BT Yahoo IE browser opens, but I'd rather reset ths to my simple IE browser, which I usually use. How can this be done?

I can't find an obvious setting as resetting the file associations didn't resolve it.

Maybe I should just switch to Firefox!

Control Panel, Internet Options, Programs - check the box at the bottom to tell IE to check for default - then open IE and you will get a box to reset it.

Uninstall that Yahoo browser from Add/Remove in the Control Panel as well if you don't want to use it.
