Where? On the Programs tab? Do you also have a checkbox there?

[ ] Tell me if Internet Explorer is not the default web browser

FWIW that's what I have on IE7 in XPsp2. Cross-posting to get Vista only
input.


> What’s the difference?


The default is IE7 is the only web browser. Non-standard configurations
(e.g. multiple browsers) imply choice which you might want supported
dynamically.

> Why are the icons HTML & MHTML changing when switching between browsers?


To help indicate which browser you are using? ; )

> If I use the default option I’m unable to open or view the MHTML extension & vice versa.


So, another browser may not support that function.

> Why do we need 2 browsers anyway?


You don't.

> Can anybody please enlighten me!!


Some prefer one set of functionality over another.
