Visual Studio .NET standard webbrowser

kjb
Hi,

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but I'll give it a try.
When Firefox was my default browser on my computer, I installed Visual
Studio .NET.
Everytime I ran my web-application, Visual Studio started firefox (like it
should do).
I now have uninstalled Firefox, but when I run my web-application now, I get
the following message:
Unable to start program 'C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1\FIREFOX.EXE'.
The system cannot find the file specified.

I double checked if Internet Explorer is my default browser.
I Searched my registry for anything that contains 'firefox' and removed it.
And still the same message.
I also checked the settings of Visual Studio, but there wasn't anything
where I could change the browser it should start.

This problem occurs in both Visual Studio 2003 and in Visual Studio 2005
beta 2.

Does somebody know how to change the default browser of Visual Studio?

You didn't look close enough.

In the Solution Explorer, right-click any file, and select "Browse with".
Then set whichever browser you want to be the default browser.
