Default Front Windsheild Defog - A/C ON also.

When I turn on my defrost for my front windshield the A/C also kicks on....is there any way to bypass this so that the A/C doesnt also circulate when defrost ON.....

Turn the heat on or turn the **** off. The defroster is part of the A/C unit, I'm not sure what you mean.

A/C acts as a dehumidifier, therefore defogging the windows better/faster

I don't use the heater all to often. It makes sense though that the ac would stay on especially when you need to defrost the windshield.
