I need explorer for certain web sites, how do I get it back for those? I had an icon in case I needed Explorer, but now Firefox comes up. How do I change that back? Thank you!

You can launch Internet Explorer from its icon on the desktop, Start Menu or the Quick Launch section of the taskbar. If you've lost the shortcuts somehow, you can create one as follows:

  1. Right-click the desktop and choose New, then Shortcut.
  2. Click the Browse button and select the following file:
    • C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
  3. Give the shortcut a name, like Internet Explorer then click the Finish button.
