A very simple program that lets you set the default web browser in Windows. Select the browser you want, and the program will modify the required registry settings. Can now also automatically locate the browser. A valuable tool for anybody who uses more than one web browser on their system (e.g. if you switch between Netscape Navigator/Communicator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Opera and others). Note: I had an experimental browser destroy my settings beyond what I was able to fix using the registry. Only use SetBrowser in situations where browsers don't recognize the current settings. "Forcing" the default browser, as SetBrowser does, is really a last resort.
