Default Setting IE as default browser in registry

Hope this isn't OT, but where in the registry to I find the value that
enables the popup window to set IE as the default browser if another browser
has been installed?
I think it's HLCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Internet
Settings, the Default string. Is this right? If so, what would the value be
set to?

Doesn't the setup feature work in right click icon Properties Programs
check - Internet Explorer should check whether its the default browser -

or isn't that working for you?
