Default AOL Explorer, FU

I have AIM and must've forgotten to uncheck AOl Explorer as my default browser. Now, whenever I click a link, this slow as [censored] browser pops up and I'm ready to assassinate the [censored] out of the AOL techies who invented this retarded browser. How do I get rid of this [censored].

Assuming you want to use IE as your default browser you could open IE and go Tools > Options and under the Programs tab there should be a checkbox saying "check whether ie is default program" or something like that..

I assume there is something similar on all browsers

This doesn't work though. Either AOL Exp somehow overrides it or it's only for AIM links.

But how? It's bundled with AIm. I only want to get rid of the browser, not aim.

I think Deebo programs for AOL. I swear AOL just takes [censored] over.

My computer started getting really f*cked up when I installed AIM. Uninstalling it didn't help.
