I prefer to use IE for pretty much all of my browsing. When I go to my
Hotmail by clicking on "My E-Mail Inbox" on the pop-up menu on MSN
Messenger, my computer uses MSN Explorer instead. Even though I have the
checkbox next to "Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the
default browser" checked, it does not bring up a dialog box asking if I want
to make it the default when I manually open IE. Is there a way to make my pc
use IE for all of my browsing without removing MSN Explorer from my
computer?

Unfortunately, no. This was a design change made specifically for MSN9

For previous behavior (opening IE for Hotmail if MSN Explorer is not running), you will need to use MSN8.
