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? -- { : [|]=( DaffyDŽ If I knew where I was I'd be there now. |
