When you click a hyperlink in an email message, your computer automatically attempts to open that link in a Web browser. If you have more than one Web browser installed on your business computer, the link opens in the program that is designated as the default browser. If, for example, both Internet Explorer and Chrome are installed on your PC, and Chrome is set as the default browser, links open in Chrome. You can change the setting for whether or not a browser is the default one within each browser.
