Right-click the computer desktop, and click "program" in the IE properties dialog box, as shown in the following figure.
You can also search for "link", "default", or "program" in the Start menu. For example, after "default" is found:
As the default browser, IE10 provides two experiences: Metro and desktop. If IE is not the default browser and you still want to use IE10 to open links in other programs, you can only use IE10 on the desktop, and you cannot make the above changes. When IE10 is not the default browser, the "select to open the link" option in the IE attribute "program" is disabled.
How to quickly select the default browser? On the Windows 8 Start screen, enter "default". The Start screen will search for applications, settings, files, etc. In the search result application, the default program will be included, and the default program control panel will be displayed, you can select "Internet Explorer" or other browsers and set it as the default.
