The word default in tennis, is not the same as the word default in computers.
In the computer world, the word default means, what your computer will do when you don’t tell it to do something else.
Most families have two or more cars. Chances are that each member of the family has their favorite car to drive. If they have to go somewhere, there is a good chance that they will drive the same car every time. This, in the computer world, would be considered the default car for that person.
When you type a document on your computer, the font selected is probably Times New Roman, Arial, Helvetica or Garamond. The font that your computer has set every time you go into the program is the default font.
If you have two or more printers, one of those printers is where documents will go when you hit the print button, unless you make an effort to direct the job to the other printer. This is the default printer.
So, that’s default. Use it three times today and the word is yours.
Well Im new at this computer ling-go. And Im not the sharpest knife in the drawer.When it says do you want to make this a default program. Maybe you can explain it from a different angle. If you would. Thanks TOM T

I do not understand what default means. Can someone please explain it to me in layman’s terms? Thanks!
Read the article carefully again, but I did try a different analogy with a customer the other day. Chances are you have at least two grocery stores where you live. When you need milk or eggs, you probably think about and go to the store you shop at most often. This would be your “default” grocery store…then one you think of and use most often. I hope that helps.
rick tanks for that info,so i understand what is default in computer
WELL FINALLY!—A HUNDRED DICTIONARIES FAILED TO EXPLAIN THIS NASTY ABERRATION /DISTORTION OF ENGLISH—SO MANY PEOPLE
INCLUDING COMPUTER NERDS WONDER WHY SOME
IDIOT USED DEFAULT—-IE FAILURE TO HONOUR AN AGREEMENT——A DISTINCTLY HORRIBLE
BANKING TERM THAT YOUR MANAGER CAN CRIPPLE
YOU WITH—–AS A COMPUTER TERM !!!
WHAT A CONFUSING MESS–
WHY CALL IT A DEFAULT IN THE FIRST PLACE
–WHEN IT HAS NO CONNECTION WHATSOEVER WITH THE ORIGINAL SHAMEFUL VERB–IE TO FAIL!!!!
NOW I FIND ITS A SIMPLE FAILSAFE OR SAFETY NET SYSYTEM/IDEA—- TO FALL BACK ON WHEN YOUR PC CANNOT ACHIEVE SOME OTHER IMPROVED TARGET-
WHY NOT CALL IT SIMPLY FAILSAFE OR BACKUP??? BUT WHEN YOUR PC SUGGESTS YOU CAN ACCESS THIS OR THAT PROGRAM USING
THE DEFAULT SETTINGS IN CONTROL PANEL–
WELL WHAT A HORRIFYINGLY CRYPTIC LOAD OF
GOBBELDYGOOK THAT IS—TOOK ME 2 YRS TO FIGURE OUT THIS OXY-MORONIC WORD—
THANKU TO THIS SITE FOR CLARIFYING THIS ISSUES TO MILLIONS OF NEW PC DAREDEVILS
MOST GRATEFUL—LIGHTBULB HAS FLASHED ON—
