can you explain abit better on what we need to do to make it the default browser please?. Can you make it in to a tutorial.

I was researching this the other day you have to do it in your registry which I do not know how to do.

You should of posted this in the Tutorial Requests section.

In Windows 7 it can be done without Registry.

im using vista?.

in windows 7 you need your browser on the list of browsers otherwise you can manually change your default browser or you can change what programs open what extentions

to do it automatically with your own application you still need to do it with the Registry

In Windows7 u can do it in StartMenü-Default Programs
About Vista i dont know...somewhere in Registry it must be done.

Yes but it doesnt let you select the programs only the ones on the list

U can also Select other Programs,like one u did with Visual Basic ;)

Oh? It wouldnt allow me to do that but if so then then thats cool but the user of our applications may not know how to do that which is why Registry is still better

Just showing you how to make your own webbrowser the default one

Code: Select all

Dim Key As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser.CreateSubKey("Software\Clients\StartmenuInternet", True) 'Creates or opens the registry key for the default browser with write access
Key.SetValue("", "BROWSER PATH") 'The path of your program
Key.Close() 'closes and flushes the key

Replace "BROWSER PATH" with the program that should be the default browser
Or:

Code: Select all

Microsoft.Win32.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Clients\StartmenuInternet", "", "BROWSER PATH")

Doesnt make much sense how do i put this in my program?
