Location of Default Browser Setting
"Brad" wrote in message ...
Hi, I assume that the default browser (example: IE or Netscape) is stored in the registry. If that is correct, how do I recognize that entry in the registry after I export the registry to a text file via REGEDIT? I don't think there is one exclusive "default browser" setting. There are asscociations for the various protocols. e.g., check the default value under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command also see https, ftp, nntp, mailto, gopher, telnet, etc.. The command value is what's loaded, but there are other values in the same keys that would need to be examined also. (and who knows what else). I wouldn't try to manipulate them manually, when the browser will do it for you. You might also want to try sysinternal's regmon. |
