Hi. Is there a way to make web-page-screensaver to use my default web browser 
(Chrome) instead of the web browser used by web-page-screensaver (it looks like 
it's running on IE)? 

That page that I am trying to use for screensaver uses WebGL and it doesn't 
work on IE.

I wanted to display the ISS HD Video feed as a screensaver and ran into the 
same problem: IE is the browser used by web-page-screensaver.  I'm no s/w 
engineer, but I looked at the file ScreensaverForm.cs and several lines down 
from the top is "webBrowser.Navigate((string)reg.GetValue("Url", 
"http://www.polidea.pl"));

The library "System.Windows.Forms" appears to only point to IE.  This stack 
exchange thread discusses the problem a bit more 
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1949532/how-to-change-webbrowser-from-ie-to-
firefox).

I hope this helps
