Assuming that you want to come to the default settings, here is what you have to do:
Start Internet Explorer, go to tools, Internet options, advanced tab. At this tab click on both restore settings. At the lower restore settings check the delete personal settings box and click ok. Restart the Internet Explorer. You will prompt to apply the settings (as when you upgraded from v7 to v8. Follow the on screen prompts and at the end you will have your Internet Explorer restored back.

In case of a problem or clarification or further details needed, don't hesitate to post me a reply before rejecting my answer.

How do I make Google my browser

Go to the "settings" screen of your browser and reset the "default browser" designation. Remember to protect that setting by restricting further resetting without express permission. Good luck. Truly.

I am loghged into facebook and it wont let me log out

Try to clear the cache and cookies of your browser either thru tools or settings within internet options. Close and reopen browser. Try to check if you are/can log out. If that wont work reset the browser but it will also remove saved settings on it like additional toolbars or saved passwords and bookmarks. Still under internet options > advanced > reset. Close and reopen browser again.

Videos hang after those stupid commercials

The first step would be to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player by going here. Then close all open browser windows, open a new one, and try again. If it still hangs, I would try with a different web browser such as Chrome or Firefox. If it works in one but not the other, try clearing your temp files and/or resetting your browser. Instructions for doing this vary by browser. Below are the instructions for Internet Explorer.
Clearing Temp Files in Internet Explorer
  • In Internet Explorer, go to Tools - Internet Options. If you don't see Tools, look for a gear icon in the upper-right. Click on that and go to Internet Options.
  • On the General tab, click Delete.
  • In the window that pops up, make sure the check box for Temporary Internet Files is checked, then click Delete.
  • Click OK.


Reseting Internet Explorer to Default Settings
  • Warning - this will completely reset your browser, getting rid of all cookies, add-ons, bookmarks, etc.
  • Go into Internet Options again, and go to the Advanced tab. Click the Reset button.
  • In the window that pops-up, click the Reset button again.

How do i change my default browser

To reset Internet Explorer settings
If you installed another Web browser after installing Internet Explorer and Internet Tools, some of your Internet Explorer settings may have changed. You can reset your Internet Explorer settings to their original defaults, including your home page and search pages, and choice of default browser, without changing your other browser's settings.
  1. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
  2. Click the Programs tab.
  3. Click the Reset Web Settings button.
BTW, I found these instructions by going to the 'help' button and clicked on 'Contents and Index' and typed in the keywords 'default browser'
