From a security standpoint, it's important to keep all your programs updated.
This would include your Operating system. :)

It is quite possible and normal for IE to open something even if you have another browser set as your default browser.
Although whenever a program opens a web browser, Chrome is the program that's used.

Hi bob3160,

This is another reason for everybody out on Windows to keep Windows Blue E fully updated and patched. Allthough it may not be your browser by default, it comes so deeply integrated/embedded into the Microsoft OS that the security of it is immenent and equals general MS OS security.

Though in Vista no updates are given for it.
