Default Browser registry setting?

[Toby Alcock]

Hi all,
How can I change IE6.0SP1 on Windows XP to be the default
browser via the registry?
I need to change some file associations to automatically
open from Outlook but when I do this it breaks IE's
default assocation.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Toby,

Download the .reg fix. Set Internet Explorer as default browser:
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/reg/IE_Default_Browser.reg

* Use this only if IE is installed in its default location [c:\Program
Files\Internet Explorer] *

(or)

Open Internet Explorer > Tools > Options > Programs and enable the option:
"Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser"
Close IE and open again. Click YES if you are prompted to set it as default
browser.
