Check for any anti-spyware software that may be blocking the change.

You have to Run Chrome as Administrator. After that you can go on with echrada�s reply. -- TFM ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TFM's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/tfm.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-help/1033611.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

Are they plugging into the Vista-standard "Default Programs" association control panels found on the Start menu? That'd be the place to go for one-stop shopping for associations. It's pretty easy for applications to plug into this. =) -- Speaking for myself only. See http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.

Right click on the Chrome shortcut and select Properties Go to the Compatibility tab Check "Run as Administrator" Run Chrome Click the "Allow" selection in the UAC prompt In Chrome, go to Tools / Option and select "Make Chrome my Default Browser" You may want to remove the Run as Administrator option as you will get hit with the UAC prompt every time you open Chrome or a new tab. -- gbaugher ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gbaugher's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/gbaugher.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-help/1033611.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
