Setting IE as default browser in registry

[Guest DaffyD®]

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?

If I knew where I was I'd be there now.

Doesn't the setup feature work in right click icon > Properties > Programs

or isn't that working for you?
