This must bring up a window like shown in below screenshot. %windir%system32control.exe /name Microsoft.DefaultProgramsĢ. Open run box and type the following run command to open default program settings Method 1: Changing default program through windows Default program settingsġ.

One of them is by changing the settings through operating system options and the other one is by looking for the option in browser to make it as default and changing the settings. There are two ways in which you can make a particular browser as default. If you want it to open with some other application then you can chose “Open With” option and select the particular application to open with. Now if you double click the file it will be opened by your system application which is set as default for file with “.html” extension. There are few file types that any browser can open, making a particular browser as default is nothing but allowing that particular browser to open all the file types that it can open by default instead of asking with what application you would like to open.įor example : If you have a file with name “index.html”, It has “.html” extension ( hyper text mark up language ) which should be opened by a web browser. What does it mean by making a browser default ? So in this post I would like to show on how you can change the default browser.

Almost all the browsers will ask you to chose it as default browser by showing up a dialog box whenever you open that browser.īut there are times when you might have asked not to show that dialog box and now you might wanted it to be default browser for some reason.

There are many browsers available in internet hence the choice of making one particular browser as default comes into picture.
