Customize Your Internet Explorer Browser Experience

Change Your Default Internet Explorer Browser Search Settings

If you have Internet Explorer, and click the "Search" icon, it will default to MSN Search. It also cuts your screen by one-third, since MSN's "Search Companion" (in IE 6) shows up on the left side of your browser window. If you would like to set Internet Explorer to something other than the default MSN Search, follow these directions.

If you don't already have the Internet Explorer browser, you'll want to download it now.
