Setting PWB as default browser in a user profile

Post by cceller »

I am running Windows 7, 64bit.

I have installed the BETA for SETPWB (one mentioned for Vista, etc).

PWB will operate as the default browser in my admin profile but not a user profile (which is my goal).

Any suggestions?

Ok, I think this can be done within Windows fairly easily ...

1. Log into the user account
2. Click Start
3· Click Default Programs
4· Click Set program access and computer defaults
5· Expand Custom
6· Select the Internet browser you want to use under Choose a default web browser:
7· Click OK

Thanks for posting the steps you found.

For Windows 7 you can also set the following in your PWB v3.03.6 INI file.

SetPWBAsDefault=True
