how to change the default internet browser?

hi to everyone,
thanks to this forum i started to use opera 8.5 on my qtek 9000 but infortunately every time i receive an email with a link it launches ( as i click on the link) PIE. is there a registry hack to modify the default inetrnet browser or am i condamned to copy the link and paste it on opera tu use it?
thanks for your help.

I know this answer is not up to the level of this forum...but maybe it is better than no answer:
I have installed Netfront 3.3 ( i definitely believe it is superior to Opera) and it allows to select NF as the default browser.
I had installed Opera and deinstalled it later, so I cannot check if it offers such an option to select it as default.
Andy.

Answer
To set any browser as the default one
open a registry editor
point to HKCR
and the extensions that you want the new browser to open:
htmlfile
http
https
ftp
url
xml
go to shell\open\command\default
For opera9 modify into:
"OperaL.exe" %1
it should be the same for other browsers

What the f**k!!
This is a 2 years old thread!!

Opera 9.5 gives you the chance to set as the default borwser and works like a charm! I have not tested Netfront.

Thread may be 2 years old, but it's useful to me. I am trying to kludge together a way to have Opera open up when I click on a shortcut in the Favorites folder, which I have attached to the start menu. This will allow me to store/sync my favorites through my work desktop IE, since I'm not permitted to install Opera on it. (BTW I'm actually using a Titan, but I figure the reg hack should be the same. And I have a used Uni in the mail, so I sort of belong here!)
Under HKCR->urlfile->shell->open->command, I have this not including the quotes: "operaL.exe %1"
This triggers Opera when I click on sopmething in my Favs folder, but it fails saying that the local file is not available. Am I missing something, or is this not possible? I somehow have Opera set to open when I click a link in an email, so I should be able to copy the syntax of that reg entry, but not sure where to look for it.
TIA

What do I change it to if I want it to Pocket IE? When I open the "Video Sites" for Flash Video Bundle, I get Opera Mobile 9.5... I can't access the videos straight from there. Can someone help me out?

I have installed the IrisBrowser on the storage card, do I have to do anything different as just changing the registry does not seem to work ...

WM6 & O2 WAP-Flat in Germany / Proxy-Support

Hey folks,
didn't find a thread regarding this problem:
I live in Germany and use the o2 WAP-Flat, that's a Web-Only internet-flatrate through a proxy-server. I configured it the right way, as I did on WM5 (AKU 3.5) and on my WM5 Smartphone. There everything works fine.
On WM6 however I get a strange result:
The connection works, as I can sync my data with exchange. So the connection and proxy settings are right. But when I try to surf using IE, it says "connecting" then "locating" and then "opening" but then nothing happens for about 60 seconds and then IE tells me: "The page you are looking for cannot be found due to unknown error 0x80072f78."
Any suggestions? WM5 works, WM6 not, not with Helmi 1.0, not with Helmi 1.1 and not with PDAVIET 2.0.6.

Its due to the browser identifing to the proxy.
Afaik does the o2 germany proxy accept the crossbow browser not yet.
Try different setting in registry.

I thought about something like that because that also seems to be the reason why opera doesn't work although I have put in the right proxy...
Now I have to find somewhere the Information about what is the right registry key and what I do have to export to use it again.
Do you have a little hint for me?

yeah you just need the WM5 useragent settings... er...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other
scroll down to "PIE"
-edit-
actually I think: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry better shows the default values.

Thanks a lot ivor.
OK, I'll try that, the keys are now stored in another location.
The new location is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\
The standard-values for Crossbow in Helmi v1.1 are:
# Default "Mozilla/4.0"
# Version "MSIE 6.0"
# Platform "Windows CE"
I'll try to change it one by one and post the results here...
Would be great to know what the standard-values for AKU 3.5 are. That one was the most recent version where it worked for me...
Edit: There's also another "Folder" named "Templates" with 2 Subfolders called "Same as Pocket PC" and "Same as Windows XP". I would like to know if Helmi added them or Microsoft or should I try to copy the settings over the original ones or is there a possibility to easily switch between them?
Edit 2:
Tried it with these settings but it doesn't work:
# Default "Mozilla/2.0"
# Version "MSIE 3.02"
# Platform "Windows CE"
Does anyone have the right settings from AKU 3.5? That would help to narrow the problem.

It´s not only the browser identify.
There is another parameter to adjust.
UA-Prof must read f.i.:
"http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/pu10-2.0.xml"
Correct browser identify is
"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile 6.8)"
Works for me with O2 proxy 82.113.100.4

You have made a typo, it has to be "http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/pu10-2.0.xml".

That's the same as above but with a typo. A "." is missing ;-)

I've been looking for this hack for while, its been driving me mad too, under WM2006 Identify PIE as IE 6.0 hack doesn't work.
I've tried to manuly modified reg keys & also with tweak2k2 latest version but no joy.
Opera works fine but my favorite RSS feed app Newsbreak doesn't like it.
Any advise would be grate.
RE
Hassan

You got opera to work with the German WAP-Flatrate? I didn't get that one to work. Neither any other webbrowser than PIE.
The strange thing is, I hat to get my MDA Pro exchanged because the headset-port was broken, and now with the new one and the same ROM (helmi v1.1) the trick with UAProf doesn't work anymore. Am I so stupid or what? ;-)

Pocket IE default for Outlook?

I have Opera Mobile installed as the default browser.
How come when I click a link in an Outlook message, it opens in Pocket IE? I can't find a setting to change this. Does anyone know a solution?
(I get MLS listings from my realtor that don't open in PIE, yet open fine in Opera. PIE receives 50Kb of data from the site and then starts over opening the page again. Is there some other problem here?)
I'm running WM6 Pro 2.5 Black (Buzzing)
Opera 8.6

Running the latest LVSW, with Opera 8.65, and links in Outlook opened in Opera when it was set to the default browser in the Opera settings.

I'm having this problem too. Did you find a solution? I am running official Tytn WWE WM6.
Thanks.

default browser for TouchFlow?

After upgrading to NFSFAN's latest 6.5 ROM on a Bell HTC Touch, if one installs multiple browsers, say, Opera 10 beta and Skyfire, in addition to Internet Explorer. Then, how to select default browser for TouchFlow?

You can either change the registry settings or use m2dc (Manila 2D Customizer).

Thanks for both suggestions... M2DC worked for me.
btw, what is the registery key for default browser?

[HELP] How to set Opera Mini 5 beta as default browser

Hi guys i'd like to know if there's a way to make Opera Mini ( NOT the Java version ) but the Cab [ it's named Opera Mini 5 beta v.5.03521] your default browser ?
I've found many ways to do it but its only with the jbed thing and that version kinda sucks versus the cab...I've found this :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\: DEFBROWSER
"0"=Opera Browser
"1"="\Windows\OperaL.exe\"
but it still doesn't work any ideas ?
Here's the cab for those who want to try it but believe me its way better than the java version

Opera Mini 5 for Windows problems
I have not found a way to make Opera Mini the default browser. But a few questions for you about issues with Opera Mini 5 Windows Version on the HTC Excalibur:
1. Can't use D-Pad for page up/down scrolling. That is a great feature on Opera Mini 4.2.
2. Can't set the date shown at the bottom of the Opera screen.
3. The short-cuts that use the # key don't work.
Is that your experience too? Wonder if its the same with other Windows phones? It still is a "beta" version.

1. You can use it in the 5.03521 version aka "Opera Mini for Winmo" @ operamini.com
I've got the 3VO.3.50.033010 ROM it may help you..
2. Forget about it just : Settings > Fullscreen : no date more place for pages
3. Shortcut does work : you've just got to "double fn" + number
Since I got my Exc. i've been using it instead of the jbed version its faster, got bigger font and bug free.
Btw my deepest apologies its not a beta version

Opera Mini 5 for WM is grate browser it's really speedy but lots of bug

Opera Mini 5 for Windows problems
1. D-Pad. I was referring to being able to use the right/left d-pad to scroll up and down one page at a time. I am using version 5.03521 dated March 2010 with RickWatt WM6.1.
3. Shortcut # key: If what you mean by "double fn" + number is to press the # key twice, it does not work on my Excalibur. I have tried other key combinations with no luck. The shortcuts using the * key do work, however.
Also, the Opera site lists the Windows Mobile version of Opera Mini as "beta," and it shows up in my Start screen as "Opera Mini 5 beta."

If you know how to edit your registry, then my free "SkweezeIt" app will allow you to select the new Opera Mini WM Beta when you click on a link in an RSS or email message, and it will place the URL in the devices clipboard, then you can just "paste" it into the opera mini's URL box (by holding down the center OK button).

This is a known problem with Opera Mini 5 (still in beta) with other WM phones besides the Excalibur - check Opera Mini forums and you'll see. I have the same problem with my Excalibur running stock WM6 rom but others here on XDA run Opera Mini 5 just fine using modded WM roms. So until Opera provides a fix it looks like you'll have to flash your phone to get Opera Mini to work right.
