Default IE7/Firefox

I have looked through the forms and can not find the answer...I have downloaded Firefox and made it my default browser ...now I can not see how to use IE7 when I need to go to a website that only uses IE....

Is there a way to be able to choose which browser to use ??

Thanks;
Hefs

The simple way of doing this is to get IE Tab extension for FireFox from here. then when you need to have IE open just right mouse click, change rendering engines...

Thanks. got the extensions...but still do not understand...righ click and a box pops up"IE TabOptions" with three urls in the box..one with a lot of strange words and symbols, a *update.microsoft.com and Microsoft Windows Update...

I have clicked on all of them and nothing happens....and is the firefox "home/start" page just a "google search box"??

AS you an see I am a real novice..
Thanks;
Hefs

It should still be in your All Programs menu. If not, got to My Computer > C: > Program Files > Internet Explorer > Right click iexplore.exe and create shortcut. Drag into start menu if you wish.
