So You Wanna Change Your Default Browser In Vista?
Friday, August 11th, 2006
I have been using Vista Beta 2 for a while now and there is one thing that continues to frustrate 
me. Microsoft has designed the User Account Control (UAC) to work so perfectly that it will be difficult for the average person to switch the default browser. After installing Vista you can open up the Control Panel and the first thing that I do is switch to the classic view. Opening up the Default Programs module and looking at the setting for Internet Explorer reveals that it is set to the default browser…
Not surprising, right? Like Microsoft would ship Vista with Firefox or Opera…even though it would be funny if someone slipped it in before it was sent to RTM 
. That’s besides the point because I just want to download Firefox, install it, and set it to be my default browser so that I don’t have to worry about IE opening up my links. That’s what I did and once I ran Firefox for the first time it asked if I wanted to set it to be the default browser…of course I do!
