    Restoring Windows Explorer as Default Explorer


    I have been trying to use alternative Explorer programs and I have changed various programs. Now I would like to revert back to Windows Explorer as my default. How would I go about doing this?

    Please do not confuse my question for setting IE Edge as my default browser as that is not my question.


    Thanks!

    :)

    Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?

    Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
