IIRC, you have to have admin right to set the default browser. So if you don't run it as admin, it's not actually going to change, even if you click yes when it asks if you want to set it as your default browser.
BUT
It was an amazing find, and I'm glad that it's there.

I know how to set the default browser. What I'm saying is that even when it WAS set as the default browser, for some reason everything opened in Chrome instead. I'm not sure why. Thanks for trying to help though.

Yes, why?
And, it's Kotton. Kottonmouth is my alias. *N[ix] is a *Nix reference in my name.

Google Chrome all the why for me.
RE: Choose Your Favorite Browser - BreShiE - 08-06-2011
Haha, you should try Iron, it's exactly like chrome but more secure. Better 'under the hood' stuff.

I really love google chrome. It's fast, smart, and have a lot of functions
RE: Choose Your Favorite Browser - BreShiE - 08-27-2011
I agree Scream, but I'm gong to be running Linux soon, so Iron all the way for me.
