I am a firefox and sometimes IE user. I set firefox to be my primary browser a while back (a pop-up box kept asking, do you want firefox to be primary).... Anyway, my wife like IE and knows how to use IE and would like me to change it back? IE doesn't give me the same option (maybe due to lawsuits???)....

Log onto the system as an Admin-class user and go to Control Panel > Add Remove Programs. Click Set Program Access and Defaults and there ya go :) This may be right smack dab on your Start menu as well.

In IE menus:

Tools --> Internet Options
Programs tab
Check the box that says 'Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser'

Then launch Firefox and check the box so it won't ask you again
