Default Default Browser

I've downloaded and installed the Mozilla Firefox browser to try it out.
Now, I'd like to keep Firefox, but make IE6 my default browser.

But I can no longer make IE6 the default browser. Please advise

Tools, Internet Options, Programs tab, tick the box at the bottom about
default browser. It will ask you next time you run the program. And each
time it isn't the default.

1. Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Set Program Access and Defaults >
Browser > Select IE.

2. IE Tools > Internet Options > Programs > Internet Explorer should check
to see whether it is the default browser (check)
