Issue 2565: Default browser setting is incomplete, leaves DDE entries
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=2565
New issue report by wbardwell:
Product Version : 0.2.149.30 (2200)
URLs (if applicable) :
Other browsers tested:
Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
Safari 3: FAIL
Firefox 3: OK
IE 7: OK
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have IE or Firefox as your default browser (This is on XP, might have
different issues under Vista, where default browser stuff works differently)
2. Tell Chrome to be the default browser
3.
What is the expected result?
It should replace all of the keys under HKEY_CLASS_ROOT/http/shell/open
(and https)
What happens instead?
The DDE stuff in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/http/shell/open/ddeexec is left there
from the previous browser, but if a program tries to use it, they will
either end up opening stuff in a running instance of some other browser, or
it just won't work. It not working is generally ok, since that is what
happens when the other browser isn't running, but it working means that the
user's browser preference isn't obeyed.
Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
