internet explorer on windows 8 wont open properly please help?

[Katrina]

I have the latest version of windows 8 on my computer and there was never a problem with my internet explorer. but now every time I click on the app in the start menu it automatically switches to the desktop version and I don't want it to. its really frustrating me because I hate the desktop version and I want to go back to using the start menu version. I went on the windows website but there were no answers. can someone please help ?
I did what the first answer told me to but my internet is still doing the same thing. it keeps switching to the desktop version automatically

First, bring up the Start screen and begin to type “Default Programs” until an app with the same name appears on the left. Open it and you’ll be brought to the Control Panel in the Desktop mode. Choose “Set your default programs.”Next, select Internet Explorer from the list of apps on the left, and then click “Set this program as default” on the right side of the window. After a moment or two, the window will notify you that “This program has all its defaults.”Finally, close the Control Panel window and go back to the Start screen. You’ll see that the Internet Explorer tile has reverted to the default “Metro” style. Clicking on it will launch the full-screen version of the browser, but launching the app from the Desktop will still enable windowed mode for users who aren’t ready to fully commit to the full-screen experience.
