Suggested Settings for Windows 10 & the RealtyWEB.Net MLS

If you have recently upgraded to Windows 10 or purchased a new PC with Windows 10 installed, you may find that certain default programs have changed. On Windows 10, you may find the both the default browser and the default pdf reader has been replaced by Microsoft's new program titled Edge.

Edge comes with many enhanced features but some functions/processes that many of us have in place may need some future tweaking.

In the meantime, we recommend you use Internet Explorer 11 instead of Edge and make Adobe Reader the default app/program for your pdf files (contracts, forms, etc.).

To do this, try one of these three suggestions:

• Call our Technical Support (904) 394-9494 x 1605
• Watch this video (note: there is no sound on this video)
• Complete the following:

1. Open Edge
2. In the upper right corner click the three dots (...)
3. Select "Open with Internet Explore"
4. (Optional) If you would like to PIN Internet Explorer to your taskbar, go to the bottom where you will see the traditional symbol for Internet Explorer (the blue e).  Right click on the icon, Left click "Pin to taskbar."
5. Click on the Windows icon in the far bottom left side of screen
6. Select "Settings"
7. Click on the first option titled "System"
8. Select "Default Apps" on the left side
9. To the right, scroll down to Web Browser, Click on Microsoft Edge and select "Internet Explorer"
10. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click "Choose default apps by file type"
11. Find .pdf on the list and again click on Microsoft Edge and select "Adobe Reader"

That's it - you are set to go.  As processes change, we will be sure to keep you up to date.
