Hi all,

Can anyone tell me if there is a registry setting for windows xp that tells google chrome to stop being the default browser ?

Or is there a file with this setting in it somewhere ?

I am trying to automate installation of this software as much as possible.

Regards,
Remus

There are quite a few registry entries.

Code:

Key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChromeHTML\shell\open\command
Default Value: "path\to\chrome.exe" -- "%1"
Key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command 
Default Value: "path\to\chrome.exe" -- "%1"
Key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\https\shell\open\command 
Default Value: "path\to\chrome.exe" -- "%1"
Key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ftp\shell\open\command 
Default Value: "path\to\chrome.exe" -- "%1"
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Clients\StartMenuInternet 
Default Value: Google Chrome
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Clients\StartMenuInternet 
Default Value: Google Chrome
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Clients\StartMenuInternet\Google Chrome\shell\open\command
Default Value: "path\to\chrome.exe"

Of course, change path\to\chrome.exe to the correct path to it and chrome.exe
