Does anyone know how to set IE as the default browser? I have the AT&T Tilt 2, WM6.5 factory ROM. I have a program that is not compatible w/ the Opera browser, and I think I like the ability to switch between the 2 variants (modes) (desktop & mobile) of the IE browser.
Thanks,
Dave
tilt 2 default browser
It seems like this should be possible from the registry somewhere. But not everyone want so mess with the registry, or they don't have time to mess with other apps. The 'easiest' way I've found to do it is to launch IE, go to the options menu and tell it to ask if it's the default browser upon launch. Close IE, re-launch and make it the default browser. I had the same problem with an app working waaaay better with IE over Opera.
Search xda for a cab called FIXIE.cab. It will make your pocket IE the default browser.

if you navigate to the "internet" tab in touchflo and click "launch browser" touchflo opens up Internet explorer instead of Opera.
now, the odd thing is Opera is still installed on the device. but can anyone tell me how to revert it back to the way it should be? IE is just horrendous.
BTW, i know i've seen it elsewhere. but where do i make the change so the weather is correct in the calender?

I can't seem to find anyplace to update the browser selection for the HTC Touchflo Browser default. When I touch the large launch browser icon, nothing happens so I guess it is not linked to a browser .exe Can anyone help a newby?
You know how IE is on the bottom (favorites) and it's the default browser? I made Opera the default browser, but I want to add the Opera where IE is on the WM 6.5 windows default home screen. Even though Opera is the default pressing the IE on the home screen still launches IE and it's favorites. So I want to sub Opera for IE and it's favorites.
Anyone tweaked that up yet???
I also don't want certain options on the home screen. I don't want getting started as of right now on the home screen. No need for it to be there.
Read my sig for current ROM I'm running.
I like Opera 9.7 a little better than 9.5, but is there a way to change which program opens from the TP2's default Browser tab in TF3D? Couldn't find it in settings or registry.
Nothing? No help? Just using a VZW TP2 straight from the box. Want the 'globe' icon on the Browser tab to open 9.7 instead of 9.5...
Does anybody know how to change the default browser on the TP2, so that Internet Explorer is always launched instead of Opera? This would mean the internet tab on Sense, links in emails, etc.
I assume it is some registry changes? I hope somebody can help!
Thanks.

It's easy to set IE as default for links. Go to Tools->Options->Other. Check the box to tell warn you if IE is not default browser. Next time you start IE, it will give you the option to set as default browser.
That said, I can't find a way to make Opera the default browser. I had set IE as default. IE is buggy and cumbersom. I would like to set Operal back as default, or be able switch them back and forth depending on what I'm doing.
Any one know how to do this?

Silly me. There is another post detailing how to set Opera as default. The only thing missing is the phone needs a reboot before it takes affect:
