ARCHIVED: When taking Microsoft Desktop eLearning courses, do I have to make Internet Explorer my default web browser?

You need to use Internet Explorer to play any Microsoft Desktop eLearning courses on Microsoft Office.

To make this change:

1. Right-click the appropriate MELL shortcut and select Properties.
   
   
2. From the Shortcut tab, click once in the "Target:" field. Press the Home key to move the cursor to the beginning of the field.
   
   
3. Move the cursor past the first  "  (double quotes) by pressing the right arrow key.
   
   
4. Select and copy the text below: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" "file:///
5. Paste the copied text between the  "  and the C .
   
   
6. Click OK.
