Set as default browser on Windows option #372

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

Windows lets you set the default browser to open webpages from anywhere else in 
the OS. 
Right now, Windows does not recognize the Arora installation as a possible 
option (Firefox 
does register itself).

Hi, I'm using the 0.8.0 version, and I can't set Arora as my default browser in
windows XP. Please fix this bug, or enhance this great browser with that 
feature.

Manual solution, works on Windows 7.
- Edit the attached file and change the path "C:\\dev\\arora\\arora.exe" to the 
path or Arora 
on your machine.
- Import the .reg file.
- Go to Control Panel\Default Programs and select the desired defaults for 
Arora.

Solution for Windows XP:
- Download this (tiny and free) program from this site: 
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/defaultbrowser.htm
- Open it and set the browser using the manual option (with the [...] button). 
Browse to your Arora 
installation (usually C:\Program Files\Arora ) and set it to arora.exe.

None of these suggestions work. I'm using Windows XP.

Tried the tool posted by j.berghuis, and nothing happened. IE is still opening 
links.
