[changing default browser]

it sounds stupid but it make me crazy, lately. Now, IE8 is my default and usually stated at top in start menu panel.

 

I tried to change to another browser as default, let say FF but after click 'yes' (on pop-up prompt to set as default browser ) when starting FF and look at top in start menu,it still show IE8 icon not FF. I also tried to Chrome or Opera and the result is same.

 

Go to Start > Run > type 'www.piriform.com' and it took me to IE8 opened.

 

any idea ?

 

last time, I run reg cleaner by Tuneup Utilities2010 and already backed up. So restore back up file of TU and still didn't work. Problem still exist.

 

I think ,its registry related.

 

 

At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Tools menu, and select Options....

Select the Advanced panel, then click the General tab, and then click Check Now.

Select Yes to set Firefox as your default browser.
