    How to reset IE as default browser instead of Edge


    Hi there

    I can't use EDGE as my default browser as I have a few media servers and as has been pointed out that as EDGE is a universal app addresses like 127.0.0.1:8000 (i.e localhost type stuff) are no longer addressable. I need these types of addresses to use the web interface control settings on various of my media servers so I want to reset IE as the default app.

    There was a previous question on this but I can't seem to find it any more.

    Cheers
    jimbo

    Microsoft Edge Problems...

    IE is still available in Windows 10. Edge is just set as the default browser. All you have to do to use IE instead of Edge is to change the default in :

    Settings > System > Default apps > Browser

    Hi there

    Thanks --I knew it was there somewhere - but it's easy to forget things like that if you rarely use them.

    Ahh...now I know why my local proxy that I will never do without doesn't work on Spartan.

    How come I can't set Pale Moon or Fx to default for .pdf? That's not a choice on them. Why? They have a builtin PDF reader I use all the time. Spartan has .pdf currently. Why can't I change that? I won't be using Spartan at all ever since it can't connect to my local proxy.
