Instead, you must go through Default Programs. Turns out Windows 8 actually uses that Default Programs UI more fully than did previous Windows versions, and now IE doesn't even include a switch in Internet Options to make it the default. Huh? I had previously configured Google Chrome as my default web browser. This is changing a bit in Windows 8, which I noticed when a hyperlink I clicked on in a Windows Live Messenger chat window opened in, of all things, the Metro version of Internet Explorer 10. (In IE 9, this latter option is inconveniently hidden, but there.) And you can choose to make that browser the default or tell it to stop bothering you. If you use an alternative web browser on Windows 7, or use multiple browsers like I do, you know there's a game that needs to be played where each browser will continually prompt you about it not being the default browser.
