If you're a Firefox fan (and if not, do consider trying it sometime: ), try this:
1. Launch My Computer or Windows Explorer.
2. Choose menu 'Tools' -> 'Folder Options'
3. Click the 'File Types' tab.
4. Scroll down to find 'URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol' (under the File Types column) and make sure it's highlighted.
5. Click the 'Advanced' button.
6. In the 'Actions' box make sure that 'open' is highlighted (click on it if necessary)
7. Click the 'Edit' button.
8. Uncheck 'Use DDE', click the Browse button and browse to Firefox.exe on your system, and click OK. [Updated for clarification, sorry about the earlier omission.] If you get a "file not found" message, browse to Firefox.exe and click OK.
9. The path to Firefox.exe should now appear in the 'Application used to perform this action' box.
10. Go to that 'Application used to perform this action' box, and add '-url "%1"' at the end, without the single quotes, so that it reads e.g. (on my computer at least) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -url "%1" - with the double quotes!
10. Click OK again.
11. Repeat the process with the file type 'URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy'
Why does your browser crash when you open many tabs?
Every time you open a new tab in Firefox, you are asking your computer to keep track of another web page. When you open enough of these tabs, your computer begins to run out or RAM (short term memory), and sometimes CPU power - that is, many of these pages are constantly busy doing something, and your computer's processor must handle all of these tasks as well. After a while, when you're out of RAM, your computer will slow down drastically, and the program may be crashed in an effort to save the rest of the system from freezing or even crashing itself.
Short version: Your computer's smart, but its memory is not infinite. Browse responsibly.

A Web browser that made its debut in 1995 as Microsoft's response to Netscape, one of the first graphical-based Web browsers and, at the time, the dominant browser in use with control of over 90 percent of the market.
Initially called MicrosoftInternet Explorer (MSIE), Internet Explorer (IE) has long held the title of most popular browser in use
Internet Explorer supports Java, JavaScript,ActiveX, RSS, CSS and Ajax, while also offering features like tabbed browsing,private browsing, and built-in malware and phishing protection.
View Menu ItemsInternet Explorer provides the View Source command, which enables users to view the HTML source file for the current page. The View Source command is also available from the Web page's context menu. With Internet Explorer 5 and later, users may select editors other than Notepad for viewing source code.Currently, this feature works with programs that permit spaces in the command path. WordPad, for example, does not permit spaces in the command path, so you cannot specify WordPad as your default editor for viewing source code.
Toolbar ButtonsHTML editors can also be launched from the toolbar by clicking the Edit button. Internet Explorer 4.0 launches Microsoft FrontPage or FrontPage Express, if installed, when the Editbutton is pressed. The Edit button on the toolbar in Internet Explorer 5 and later also enables users to edit Web pages using their chosen HTML editor. Internet OptionsOn Windows XP, Internet Explorer allows the user to select which application will be launched when accessing an Internet service, such as mail or news. Internet Explorer 5 and later also allows the user to select a default HTML editor. Internet Explorer uses the default client applications that are defined in the registry. Client applications are listed within a corresponding drop-down menu that relates to the client application type. Registered applications are listed in a drop-down menu on the Programstab of the Internet Options dialog box.

Why should Microsoft Windows Explorer connect to the internet using other programs at all?
== == Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer use a lot of the same code, and they are both integral components of the windows operating system. If you type a URL into the address bar of Windown Explorer it 'becomes' Internet Explorer, and vice versa. It's part of Microsoft Operating System and it has to connect to the internet in order to install updates to the users computer.
