Ok I'm having a problem getting Windows 7 to recognize Opera as my default browser. When I installed it I checked the box to set it as the default browser, but when I click on a URL in another program (say an IM client) it opens up IE. So today I went into control panel, turn off/on windows features, and disables Internet Explorer. Then I uninstalled opera, then i ran ccleaner registry cleaner then I reinstalled Opera setting it as the default. Now Opera is set as the default during installation and is the ONLY browser installed on my system. When I click on a link in another piece of software (like my IM client) nothing happens. How do I get Windows 7 t o recognize my default browser?

try going to default programs from the start menu

It worked! Thanks Mecca!


You should use Google Chrome.

That's my backup browser.

Good. After it came out I haven't even opened any other browser.
