Hello,
In Vista family 32 bits, currently my internet links open with FF, even though I have disabled its automatic opening.
Right-clicking on a .lnk URL, Properties, does not show "open with..."
In the 'Settings' of Google Chrome, and 'Default Browser', the button
"Set Google Chrome as default browser" does not work, and no matter how many times I click on it, the line below always tells me:
"Google Chrome is not your default browser."
And when I open GChr, I still have the button bar that asks me:
"Make Google Chrome your default browser?"
Of course, clicking on it does nothing.
And when I click on a URL from the desktop, it still opens with FF. :( rrrrrr
Is it due to the fact that my GChrome is a portable app installed on my D drive and not on my C drive of Windows Vista?
Can we add GChrome to the desktop context menu "Open with..."?
If yes, how to do it please?
Thank you in advance for your responses
