Comment #21 on issue 6002 by [email protected]: cannot make chrome default browser http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=6002
Thanks for following up. Looks like there is a problem with the registry entries that got created on your machine because I gave you the wrong command to run. For example in start_menu.txt the places where we should have full path to chrome.exe are empty. Here are the updated instructions to try: - Close Chrome if it is running. - Start and type cmd, a command window shortcut should be listed in the results, right click and select "run as administrator" - A window should open up with title Administrator. In this window cut paste ["%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\Application\1.0.154.43\Installer\setup.exe" - -register-chrome-browser="%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"] and press enter (without the [ ]). - Start Chrome and select make Chrome default browser from options again. If still the links do not work please run these two command and send the resulting files: 1) reg export HKLM\Software\Clients\StartMenuInternet\chrome.exe start_menu.txt 2) reg export HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations urls.txt Note in the previous post urls.txt of second command is showing up on second line but it should be on the same line. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
