  • Click on the Start button, then Control Panel
  • Double-click on "Internet Options"
  • If you can't see Internet Options, click on "Classic View" (Windows XP, Vista) or "View by:" Large icons (Windows 7) on the left. Now double-click on "Internet Options"

Next to "Search", on the General tab, click Settings, and select your preferred search engine. Click OK
