📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses an issue where setting Internet Explorer as the default browser through Internet Options does not enable launching IE from the Start screen. The original poster is unable to open IE via the Start screen tile and cannot install or use the browser from there. A contributor suggests that the user needs to properly set IE as the default browser via the Control Panel’s Default Programs settings to resolve the issue.

You've not set IE as your default browser. You have to go to control panel, programs, default programs, set your default programs...then wait for the page to populate, then click IE, then click set this program as default.
