Assuming WinXP: Set Program Access and Defaults > Browser.

From: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/iefaq.htm#IE_Default Set Internet Explorer
as my default browser:

Open Internet Explorer > Tools > Options > Programs and enable the option:
"Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser"
Close IE and open again. Click YES if you are prompted to set it as default
browser.

NOTE: For Windows 2000/XP Login as Administrator and try the above steps.
(or)
For WinXP only: Download the .reg fix.
Sets Internet Explorer as default browser:
