Your other chin
In: software
18 Mar 2009For some reason, when I clicked links in TweetDeck, they would open in FireFox even though my default browser is Chrome. Here’s how to change that on XP.
I don’t know why TweetDeck doesn’t automatically direct it to the default browser (maybe it’s an Adobe AIR problem), but that’s how to fix it.
I'm Jon Chin. I love technology, food, and learning. I served a mission in the Philippines and loved it. You probably can't type on my keyboard because I don't have qwerty installed--I use Colemak. I'm obsessed with learning about North Korea and abandoned anything.

Something basic but not at all intuitive to this former Mac user. Thank you.

I made the change while Chrome was running but it didn’t take effect until I restarted it (and no, that doesn’t make any sense to me either.)

Your explanation helped me to figure this out for Windows 7.
A very similar approach also works for Windows 7:
Control panel > Programs > Under heading “Default Programs” click on “Set your default programs” > Chose Browser of your choice “Choose defaults for this program” and “Set this program as default”
