Configuring the startup Internet Explorer

In Windows 8, you can decide which variation of Internet Explorer should be used based on a few factors. By default, Internet Explorer decides how to open links:

  • If you open a link from a Windows 8 native app, it opens in Internet Explorer.

  • If you open a link from a desktop application, it opens in Internet Explorer for the desktop.

To force Internet Explorer to use one interface always, complete the following steps:

  1. From Internet Explorer for the desktop, press Alt+X.

  2. From the Internet Options page, choose the Programs tab.

  3. In the Choose How You Open Your Links section of the Programs tab, tap or click the drop-down arrow, which displays the options shown in Figure 5.

  5. Tap or click OK until you’re back at your webpage.

REAL WORLD: DON’T LEAVE INTERNET EXPLORER DEFAULTS IN PLACE

If you’re supporting Windows 8–based traditional desktops and laptops in an organization, don’t leave the default—Let Internet Explorer Decide How To Open Links—in place. The constant switch between the two editions can be jarring and confusing. Choose one or the other for your users based on their work needs. If they require access to add-ons that extend the functionality of Internet Explorer, choose the desktop variation as the default. If not, choose the touch-optimized variation.

ADDITIONAL BROWSERS CHANGE THE EQUATION

Many people add third-party web browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, and Opera to their systems. In Windows 8, if you install a third-party browser and set it as the default, the touch-optimized Internet Explorer is disabled. If you choose Internet Explorer while another browser is set as the default, only Internet Explorer for the desktop is available.

To reset Internet Explorer as the default browser:

  1. From the desktop, select the Settings charm and then select Control Panel.

  2. From Control Panel, choose Programs.

  3. In Programs, choose Set Your Default Programs.

  4. In Set Your Default Programs, choose Internet Explorer from the list of default programs.

  5. Select Set This Program As Default, as shown in Figure 6.
