Domain settings storage location

[stefanomorni]

Hi, Thank you for sharing this very useful application. I would have two questions:

• How do I register the portable version as default web app. In the Windows 10 menu for default apps, Browser picker (stable and Beta) don't show up?
• Where are the association setting domain->Browser stored?

Both questions are related to the fact, that would like to share the domain->Browser setting with the Laptop, and therefore I tried to install the portable version on Google Drive and, if not possible, would like to store the setting on Google Drive (through a Junction).

Thank you for your time. Best regards.

Hi Stefano,

The portable version wasn't really meant to be added as a default browser, as that requires registry settings to work. This is handled by the .msi, as defined here: https://github.com/mortenn/BrowserPicker/blob/main/dist/Setup/Product.wxs#L50

You could open regedit and manually register it there to get it to work as a portable.

The settings are stored to the registry, under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BrowserPicker\Defaults

Hope that answers your questions!

Hi Morten,

Thank you very much for your kind and appreciated answer. From your answer, I understand there is no way to sink the settings through Google Drive. Again, many thanks for the very useful app and you answer.
