BrowserSelect has disappeared from the Browser Selection menu #91

I'm on Win7 64x. I suspect that Micro$oft updated something just to be A-holes. Browser select is NOT listed in the browser selection menu, and the menu looks like it's been changed to an odd format. The button within BrowserSelect to make it the default browser is also grayed out.

My core issue is that when selecting an html link (I assume it's an html link) within a program, it ignores BrowserSelect as the default browser, and just opens it in Brave. :/

Update: for some BIZARRE reason, I was able to manually add BrowserSelect as the default option for opening .html et al files from the CONTROL PANEL.. even though it refused to work from the right click menu panel. WEIRD.

So, my core issue appears to be solved for the moment, but I still need to know how to get BrowserSelect back in to the Default Browser menu. :/

MS changed how app defaults work. I have fixed this issue with this change: https://github.com/lucasnz/BrowserSelect/commit/5acbb19cf40ae1e970c286674b5e343fd311a084

You are welcome to try my fork. Or I'm happy for the author to grab some/all of my fixes/mods.

Very cool.. Mine has worked as expected so far (since then).. but if there's an update I'll give it a try. :)
